Home Alone watch order

You should start with the original 1990 Home Alone movie, which introduces Kevin McCallister and establishes the classic holiday comedy formula that defines the entire series.

Watch in this order: 1. Home Alone, 2. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, 3. Home Alone 3, 4. Home Alone 4.

This guide lists 4 entries, released between 1990 and 2002.
