It's undeniable that Home Alone is one of the most iconic Christmas movies of all time, but you now have the chance to recreate the "filthy animal" scene from the actual house in the film.
Through AirBnB, you can book a night at Kevin McCallister's house over the festive period and what's more, there's a bunch of other cool stuff included in your stay.
From just $25 (£18.77), you can visit the iconic house in its beautifully decorated form (including a fully-trimmed Christmas tree) and also get a bunch of other surprises!
To start with, you'll get a slice of Chicago’s finest pizza and a candlelit dinner of microwavable Kraft Macaroni & Cheese so you can fully pretend like you're Kevin treating himself.
If you fancy somewhere a bit different this year then why not try a night at the McCallisters'!
The stay promises: "While the McCallisters are away on their annual trip (all of them but the pet tarantula, this time), four guests will get the opportunity to relive their favourite scenes from the holiday classic and let their inner eight-year-olds run free for the evening without the interruption of pesky intruders."
You may have to watch out for the odd swinging paint pot, but you'll be setting the booby traps rather than avoiding them.
There will also be a viewing of the film franchise’s newest instalment, Home Sweet Home Alone and you'll also get to take home a LEGO Ideas Home Alone set so that you can reminisce about your festive stay at Buzz's house.
AirBnB have also said that in honour of the first-ever stay at the McCallister home, they will be making a one-time donation to Chicago’s La Rabida Children’s Hospital.
The hospital dedicates itself to maintaining and improving the quality of life for each of its patients with complex conditions, disabilities and chronic illness.
Your host overnight, Kevin's scary older brother Buzz McCallister, says: "You may not remember me as particularly accommodating, but I’ve grown up, and I’d be happy to share my family home – my pizza, even – with you this holiday season. Just try not to let my tarantula, Axl, loose this time."
He adds: "We may all be older and wiser now, but we’re never too old for holiday hijinks."
"So this year, spend the holidays not-so-home-alone at my parents’ house."
You can request to book now from Tuesday 7th December at airbnb.com/homealone.
