H2: Hulu adds the complete Home Alone franchise
On December 1, Hulu quietly rolled out the complete Home Alone franchise, bringing every main entry — Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Home Alone 3, Home Alone 4 (Home Alone: Taking Back the House), Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, and Home Sweet Home Alone — to its streaming library. The full collection has quickly become a go-to for holiday viewers.
H3: Two classics dominate Hulu’s charts
The two Macaulay Culkin-led classics are performing especially well. Home Alone sits at No. 1 and Home Alone 2 at No. 2 on Hulu’s top 10 movies chart in the U.S. The films also rank highly in Hulu’s combined TV and movies list, reflecting heavy streaming since December 10. Exact viewership numbers haven’t been released, but chart placement makes clear the franchise is a hit with subscribers.
H3: Why Home Alone still resonates
Home Alone’s enduring popularity comes from a tight blend of broad slapstick and genuine holiday warmth. The 1990 original — noted for its memorable traps, the Wet Bandits, John Williams’s score, and the emotional payoff of family reunification — holds strong audience affection and continues to be an annual watch for many households. Rotten Tomatoes shows a 66% critic score and an 80% audience rating for the original, underscoring its continued cultural appeal.
H3: What else is new on Hulu this December
Hulu’s holiday refresh goes beyond Home Alone. Subscribers can also find Disney’s A Christmas Carol, Gremlins, The Santa Clause films, The Ultimate Christmas Present, and Twas The Night…… on the platform. Outside of holiday fare, December additions include Black Swan, Straight Outta Compton, and several Planet of the Apes films, offering a mix of seasonal comfort and high-profile cinema.
