Home Alone Cast: Reunions and Career Updates 35 Years After the Classic
The Enduring Legacy of Home Alone
As Christmas 2025 approaches, the beloved 1990 holiday classic Home Alone continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The film premiered on November 16, 1990, transforming Macaulay Culkin into a household name and establishing a holiday tradition that spans generations. This December has brought exciting news for fans, as several cast members have reunited and shared updates about their current projects.
Recent Cast Reunions Spark Nostalgia
On Sunday, December 8, five actors who portrayed the fictional McCallister siblings reunited for a meet-and-greet at Pandora’s Box Toys & Collectibles in Lafayette, New Jersey, including Devin Ratray (Buzz), Kristen Minter (Heather), Michael Maronna (Jeff), Angela Goethals (Linnie), and Jed Cohen (Rod). Most fans would be surprised to learn that some of the McCallister kids hadn’t reunited since the movies premiered in 1990 and 1992, respectively. Additionally, images authentically show three stars of the 1990 holiday classic film “Home Alone” — Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern — sitting together for coffee and dessert.
Where Are They Now?
Macaulay Culkin is actively working again, set to voice a character in Zootopia 2 (2025) and play a mad genius in Prime Video’s Fallout season 2. Catherine O’Hara experienced a career renaissance with her Emmy-winning turn as Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek (2015–2020), returned to the Tim Burton universe with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) and is set for a recurring role in The Last of Us – Season 2. Joe Pesci has returned to the screen in the new boxing drama Day of the Fight, released in December 2024, playing the abusive, Alzheimer’s-afflicted father of the main character. Daniel Stern stepped away from Hollywood entirely to live on a cattle and citrus farm in Ventura County, California, and at 68 years old, focuses on farming, sculpture, and bronze artwork.
The Cast’s Continued Impact
As of late 2024, the cast of Home Alone is experiencing a massive career resurgence, proving their talent extends far beyond the booby-trapped Chicago-area mansion.
