H2: Hulu adds Home Alone franchise for the holidays
Hulu subscribers woke up to a major holiday addition on December 1, 2025: the complete Home Alone franchise. The package includes Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Home Alone 3, Home Alone 4, Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, and Home Sweet Home Alone.
The move brings one of the most enduring Christmas film series to Hulu just as viewers ramp up seasonal streaming. The two Macaulay Culkin-led classics — Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2 (1992) — have been the primary drivers of the franchise’s early success on the platform.
H3: Chart-topping performance
Since December 10, both Home Alone and Home Alone 2 have consistently placed on Hulu’s charts. In the U.S., the original sits at No. 1 on Hulu’s top 10 movies list, with the sequel at No. 2. In the combined TV shows and movies ranking, the films place No. 2 and No. 4, respectively.
Hulu has not released exact viewership numbers, but the ranking shows strong audience demand. The films have outpaced other holiday staples such as The Santa Clause, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and The Polar Express during this early holiday window.
H3: Why Home Alone still resonates
Home Alone remains a seasonal favorite thanks to its mix of broad slapstick, memorable set pieces and an underlying theme about family and forgiveness. The film holds solid audience ratings on aggregator sites and its John Williams score and snowy, nostalgic visuals anchor it as a must-watch Christmas movie for many households.

Beyond holiday fare, Hulu’s December additions also brought in titles like Black Swan, Straight Outta Compton, and multiple Planet of the Apes films, offering subscribers both festive choices and broader movie selections.
H2: What this means for viewers
Adding the full Home Alone franchise gives Hulu a strong foothold in holiday streaming battles. For families and nostalgia-driven viewers, the move makes Hulu a convenient one-stop destination for classic Christmas rewatching.
