2024-12-07
Macaulay Culkin, the beloved Home Alone alum, is truly making the holiday season magical for his two sons. At 44 years old, he and his fiancée go all out during Christmas at their home. As Culkin shares, “Because right now, they’re at the magic age where they believe, and we want to nurture that belief.”
Holiday Traditions and Explanations
When it comes to screening Home Alone across the country this month, Culkin has a plan to keep his sons at ease. He tells them that he's at Santa's workshop fixing toys, as that's what he does for them at home. “I'm so good that Santa Claus called me up to the North Pole.” And his sons are totally fine with it. This shows the lengths Culkin goes to in maintaining the holiday spirit and magic for his kids.Gift-Giving and Tastes
Culkin's holiday tasks include being on stocking duty and he's the “master” at it. When it comes to gifts, his sons' tastes seem to overlap. Dakota wants a Spider-Man truck, a truck from New York City, and more presents. His youngest son wants a garbage truck and more presents too. It's as if they're wishing for more wishes. Culkin said, “I'm like, ‘You guys are certainly my sons.’ ” He also shared how he knows he's done a good job of gift-giving when Song asks him, “Where'd you get that?” like when he picked up a Zoltar fortune-telling machine from Switzerland.Holiday Memories and Mix-Ups
Culkin and Song's kids have already had a glimpse of their dad's 1990 holiday classic. Culkin previously told E! News that Dakota even mixes up the actions of his dad's character Kevin McCallister with his own personal childhood memories. He thinks he's Kevin and recalls going down the stairs on the sled and having yellow hair. Dakota also told his dad he “fought the burglars,” which Culkin had to jokingly shut down. “You're a lying liar who lies,” he joked, adding, “That was me!”National Screenings and Q&A
Culkin will be treating Home Alone fans to screenings of the film across the country this month. Alongside a Q&A as part of Home Alone: A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin. The event is continuing this weekend in Milwaukee and Detroit, then making its way to Ohio, New Jersey and beyond, wrapping on Dec. 15 in Massachusetts. This is a great opportunity for fans to relive the holiday magic and for Culkin to share more memories with them.
