Appearances
Home Alone takes place over Christmas.
It's about a little boy left behind when his family goes on vacation.
It's been the most watched holiday movie every December since 2021, except for last year when the prime video movie Red One took the top spot.
The action movie stars Dwayne Johnson as head of Santa's security detail.
Other recent top-ranked Christmas movies include Elf, Home Alone 2, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
The movie A Christmas Story benefits from a 24-hour marathon that runs on TBS and TNT.
And although there's debate about whether Die Hard is really a Christmas movie, Nielsen says last year it landed on the holiday list at number 11.

Close.

The deal right now between the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC expires in 2028, and YouTube has secured exclusive rights to the show.
ABC has broadcast the Oscars since 1976, and the news is being reported as a shocker in Hollywood industry publications.
Oscar ratings have faltered over the past few decades, but last year saw a 4% increase from the year before.
Almost 20 million people tuned in.
Academy leaders in a statement said this new partnership will expand access to the largest worldwide audience possible.
