Holiday plans go sideways

One house.
Plenty of surprises.

The first two Home Alone films follow Kevin across two very different Christmas holidays. The third theatrical film changes family and setting, so it is best treated as a separate comic variation.

Story order

Kevin’s first two films run in release order. The third film is a different family’s story, not a chapter in Kevin’s personal timeline.

Build a collection you’ll enjoy

Before you
buy the box.

Some boxes label themselves “complete” while mixing theatrical films with made-for-TV follow-ups. Check for the 1990, 1992, and 1997 releases specifically, and check standard Blu-ray availability for the third film.

01

Read the film list

A “complete” set reflects its publication date. Check titles, cuts, and bonus discs individually.

02

Check the discs inside

A standard Blu-ray player cannot play a 4K UHD disc. Choose Blu-ray or a combo that includes it.

03

Check your region

For US players, look for Region A or region-free standard Blu-ray discs. Digital codes may expire or have territory limits.
