Get ready, ya filthy animals, because \u201cHome Alone\u201d<\/a> is 35 this year and Disney+ is celebrating from the heart of Hollywood to pizza parlors and airports and television sets across the country.<\/p>\n

The biggest, quite literally, will soon arrive at the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles in the form of a ginormous gingerbread recreation of the McCallister family home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not to scale of the home in the movie, of course, but Disney+ is aiming to set a new Guinness world record for the largest-ever gingerbread house; it\u2019s designed to be 58 feet long, 42 feet wide and 25.6 feet tall.<\/p>\n

How much gingerbread does that take? Well, according to a news release from Disney+, the recipe for making the biggest gingerbread house ever seen on this planet requires 5,700 pounds of all-purpose flour and more than 4,200 eggs to make 4,400 gingerbread brick tiles and 800 roof tiles.<\/p>\n

Slap it all together with 20 gallons of edible glue, add the finishing touches with 20 pounds of fondant, and voila! Kevin McCallister has a house he can dine off for months, if not year,s the next time his family forgets him at home.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to visit the house on Dec. 18-19, weather permitting, according to the release. If you do, you\u2019re encouraged to bring an unwrapped gift for Toys for Tots gift-giving.<\/p>\n

How else is \u201cHome Alone\u201d<\/a> and its sequels being celebrated this month? Almost as many ways as Kevin created to fight off the bumbling burglars, Harry and Marv, in the movie. Including:<\/p>\n

Pizza! Or to be more specific, a lovely cheese pizza like that one Kevin ordered from the fictional Little Nero\u2019s Pizza in the movie. The real-world Prince St. Pizza will feature Little Nero\u2019s pizza boxes, special menus, and collectible packaging at its franchises in Southern California and around the country.<\/p>\n

The chain will temporarily rename its cheese pizza \u201cThe Lovely Cheese Pizza\u201d in tribute to Kevin\u2019s order. At its Studio City location, the franchise will get a full makeover, including the Little Nero\u2019s delivery car seen in the movie parked outside.<\/p>\n

Airports! Disney+ and the airport security company CLEAR have teamed up for a \u201cNo Kevin Left Behind\u201d activation at nine of the largest airports in the United States, including Los Angeles International. From Dec. 17-24, CLEAR+ members will receive \u201cHome Alone\u201d-themed ornaments<\/p>\n

Kevin!\u00a0OK, kids, listen up, because this is going to get on your parents\u2019 nerves, so, you know, you\u2019re going to want to do it. From Dec. 19-31, anyone with a Vizio television can launch the Disney+ app by shouting \u201cKevin!\u201d into the voice remote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Get ready, ya filthy animals, because \u201cHome Alone\u201d is 35 this year and Disney+ is celebrating from the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[9479,2646,48,52,51,47,50,49,1399,420],"class_list":{"0":"post-83022","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-christmas","9":"tag-holidays","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-la-headlines","12":"tag-la-news","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","15":"tag-los-angeles-news","16":"tag-movies","17":"tag-things-to-do"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
