Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!
Ever put yourself in the shoes of Kevin from the movie Home Alone and wondered what it would be like to live on your own in the McCallister house? Now, you can, thanks to two different Airbnb opportunities! Yes, two.
One is located in Winnetka, Illinois, and is the original home as seen in the films. The other is in Dallas, Texas, and is themed just like the McCallister family home. Let's take a look at them both below!
A Home Sweet Home Alone Holiday in Illinois

You could stay the night in the actual Home Alone house! How amazing would that be?
"Though we’re older and wiser now (I’ve even got my own security firm), we’re never too old for holiday hijinks," says the Airbnb listing. "So while we’re away on vacation (all of us, this time), I’m inviting one crew of mischief makers to let their inner eight-year-olds run free in my childhood home on Dec. 12."
One lucky crew will have the opportunity to stay the night in the McCallister family home. Booking opens up on December 7 at 12 p.m. (MST).

The Kevin + Cheese PIZZA & Traps - Holiday Classic in Texas

Called "The Kevin" has been painstakingly put together with details "hand-picked" to mirror the now iconic house that Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin found himself defending from potential home invaders in the modern classic movie.
Not only is the furniture and arrangement nearly identical to scenes from the movie, but the rental is also salt and peppered with props that have clearly been chosen with an attention to detail. A soda can with the old-school Pepsi logo sits on an end table next to a lounge chair; a Blockbuster Video case can be found on the coffee table; and, of course, Kevin's homemade booby traps and contraptions lay around the house.
Micro Machines litter the floor, mannequins—along with a cardboard cut out of Michael Jordan actually move in front of the windows—and the now-infamous paint cans hang from the ceiling ready to subdue any would-be intruders. To top it all off, renters can enjoy a cheese pizza delivered to add to the experience!
The rental is available now, but spots already seem to be filling up quickly. The posting on Airbnb.com lists the cost at $269 per night. The website also says no parties but doesn't mention anything about having a couple of friends swing by dressed up as Harry and Marv ... take that as you will.
How long have you been waiting for this?!? Will you be making a reservation at either one of these Home Alone Airbnbs? Let us know in the comments!
