The holiday season is about to get a whole lot more mischievous with the surprise teaser trailer for Home Alone 3 (2025), released just in time for Thanksgiving. Macaulay Culkin returns to his iconic role as Kevin McCallister in a new chapter of the beloved franchise, and fans of all ages are already buzzing with excitement.
The teaser trailer, which dropped earlier today during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, opens with an older, wiser Kevin now living in New York City. However, his peaceful holiday is abruptly interrupted when a group of high-tech criminals (played by John Cena and Charlize Theron) mistakenly target his apartment for a massive heist.
In the trailer, we see Kevin, now an adult with a family of his own, having to revert to his childhood antics when he realizes the criminals are after a rare family heirloom — one that was unknowingly left in his care. With a mix of classic pranks and new, technology-based traps, Kevin must once again outwit the criminals and protect his home.
Macaulay Culkin, who originally became a household name with the first two Home Alone films, is seen fully embracing the role of an older Kevin, now more resourceful and just as sharp-witted as he was as a child. The trailer teases a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern action, with Kevin setting up intricate traps using smart home devices, drones, and voice-activated gadgets.
Directed by Chris Columbus, who directed the original Home Alone in 1990, Home Alone 3 promises to be a heartwarming, action-packed adventure. The film is also expected to feature a star-studded supporting cast, including Emma Stone as Kevin’s wife and Tom Holland as his son, who must help him defeat the criminals once and for all.
