The holiday season just got brighter with the release of the first trailer for Home Alone 3 (2025), marking the much-anticipated return of Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister. Adding even more excitement, Adam Sandler joins the cast, bringing his signature humor to this festive revival of the beloved Christmas comedy.
The trailer opens with snowy Chicago streets and holiday lights twinkling in the night. Kevin, now an adult, returns home with his family for Christmas, only to discover that trouble has followed them. A new band of quirky burglars sets its sights on the McCallister home, sparking another round of chaotic, trap-filled mayhem.
Culkin steps comfortably back into the role that defined his career, this time with a seasoned comedic edge. Alongside him, Adam Sandler plays Kevin’s eccentric neighbor, a character who gets hilariously entangled in the action. From slapstick mishaps to witty one-liners, Sandler’s presence adds a fresh comedic punch that blends seamlessly with Culkin’s nostalgic charm.
The trailer teases outrageous pranks, from booby-trapped smart devices to old-school tricks that fans will instantly recognize. It’s a perfect balance of high-tech laughs and timeless holiday slapstick. Younger cast members round out the ensemble, ensuring the movie connects with both longtime fans and new audiences.
Backed by a production budget of $60 million, Home Alone 3 doesn’t skimp on festive spectacle. With its star power and holiday release date, industry analysts predict a global box-office haul of $400–500 million, alongside massive streaming success once it hits platforms. The franchise’s enduring popularity virtually guarantees it will be one of the biggest holiday hits of the decade.
Home Alone 3 (2025) is set to release on December 15, 2025, just in time for Christmas celebrations. With Culkin returning to his iconic role and Sandler adding a new layer of comedic magic, this film is poised to bring families together for a laughter-filled holiday event.
As the trailer tagline says: “Some traditions never get old… they just get funnier.”
