The later films weren’t so great (Macaulay Culkin wasn’t even in the third, fourth or fifth), but there are various ways to watch whether you stream online, buy or rent a digital copy or even a DVD. Some are also on TV this Christmas. Here’s how to watch Home Alone and Home Alone 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Stream Home Alone online for free
The easiest way to watch Home Alone online – along with Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and Home Alone 3 – is on Disney Plus. All three movies are available on the Disney streaming service in both the US and the UK. Subscriptions start from £5.99/$6.99 per month, but the downside is that there’s no free trial – though there are a few other ways to get Disney+ for free if you’re really committed.
Home Alone 4 and 5 are available in the UK via NowTV’s Cinema Pass, which costs £11.99 per month if you’re not already a Sky subscriber. The good news is there’s a 14-day free trial, so you can get your fill without paying a penny.
Meanwhile Home Alone 4 and 5 are on HBO Max in the US. Prices start from $14.99 per month, and sadly there’s no free trial – though as with Disney+, there are a couple other ways you may be able to get HBO Max for free.
