When one thinks of the quintessential Christmas starter pack, one thinks of snow, winter, hot chocolate, eggnogs, a Christmas tree, and last, but definitely not the least, Home Alone. It can be dubbed the cornerstone of everyone's childhood, given the massive cultural impact it had.
To this day, well over two decades later, it still elicits that warm, cozy feeling in everyone as every time it plays and "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals" blares through the speakers, we're magically transported back to a period in our lives when everything was calm, quiet, and peaceful; one where we didn't have to worry about bills, but only about what presents we would be getting on D-day.
We've compiled this list to do just that: to transport you back to your childhoods when all was calm and well. Have fun, you guys.
