This ‘Home Alone 2’ Honeymoon Deal Looks Like A Blast Of Nostalgia

If you grew up in the 1980's and 1990's, there's a good chance you've seen the classic movie 'Home Alone'. The movie actually came out in 1990. Cute Macaulay Culkin did a great job capturing all our hearts as 8-year-old Kevin McAllister. As an adorable troublemaker, who is mistakenly left home alone when the family goes on a Christmas vacation, he must defend his home against a pair of burglars on Christmas eve. The movie is funny and heartwarming.

'Home Alone 2: Lost In New York' came out in 1992. The plot follows Kevin McCallister one year later, as he accidentally finds himself stranded in New York City - and the same criminals are not far behind. Also, a cute, funny movie that does some pulling at your heartstrings. Now you can experience Kevin's New York City experience!

According to TODAY  The Plaza Hotel in NYC is offering a 'Home Alone 2' inspired honeymoon package. You and your new spouse can experience the city as Kevin Mcallister did in the movie. How fun! I'm a huge Neil Simon fan, and his play 'Plaza Suite' and the subsequent movie is one of my favorites! The Plaza Hotel is one of the luxurious old school hotels in the city.

This honeymoon package is allowing fans to have the full 'Home Alone 2' adventure. It includes a welcome kit, a private limo tour of the famous movie locations, a cheese pizza, like in the movie, and more! Guests can enjoy making their own ice cream sundaes with a hotel sundae bar. And when your belly is full, you can lounge in an oversized bed.

Looking at some photos of the package experience, I gotta say that the 'Home Alone' sweatpants are one of the sweetest things you'll snag! They're perfection! 'Home Alone 2' takes place in New York City during Christmas, and if you've never been to the city during the holidays, it's absolutely gorgeous! That said, the honeymoon experience is available year-round.

Now, I don't think you have to prove you're honeymooning, so I think anyone can purchase this fun package. It does require booking at least three days in advance, and the cost varies depending on the room type. If you're a huge fan of the 'Home Alone' movie franchise, and love New York City, it's definitely worth the money to go on this adventure!

It used to be that we'd all start decorating, shopping, baking, and wrapping presents for Christmas when the calendar turned to December. But over the past 20 years or so, the kick-off to the holiday season has gotten earlier and earlier. It's not such a bad thing, though. It just means we can enjoy our Christmas traditions longer.

First, it was Thanksgiving that was encroached upon. Now you see stores putting out the artificial Christmas trees, lights, and baubles before Halloween. The aisles become a bizarre mash-up of the macabre and the merry. Heck, because of the chillier-than-usual fall weather we've had this year, I still have a healthy-looking pumpkin on my front stoop next to an illuminated snowman. Go figure!

Here in the U.S., we definitely begin celebrating Christmas earlier than most other countries. No matter when we start, we have very specific holiday activities and we do them all in a big way. While door-to-door caroling may not be so much of a thing anymore, we have plenty of other things to keep us busy and feeling festive from October through the end of the year.

What are your family's favorite Christmas traditions? I assume you love listening to Christmas music or you wouldn't be here. That's a given so it doesn't even need to go on the list. Just as Santa has eight tiny reindeer pulling his sleigh, here are eight Christmas traditions that pull Americans through the holiday season every year.

Gingerbread is one of those things you only see during the holiday season. It makes a great cookie and is also a reliable building material. You can certainly make your own gingerbread house from scratch, but most people opt for the easier route with a store-bought kit. Either way, it's a fun Christmas activity, especially if the weather is keeping you inside.

If there's something you want Santa Claus to bring for you as he makes his flight around the world on Christmas Eve, you had better let him know. Old fashioned snail mail to the North Pole is the way to do it and Operation Santa can help. It also wouldn't hurt to leave out a snack for the big fella either!

If you're going to leave some cookies out for Santa, you'd better warm up the oven. Every family I know has its favorite Christmas cookies that must be made each holiday season. It's as important as putting a tree in the living room. In my family, we always have some classic sugar cookies, peanut butter blossoms with the Hershey kisses, and almond-y Jan Hagel cookies.

What's better on a cold night than getting the fireplace going and settling in on the couch with one of your favorite holiday movies? Will it be a heartwarming Hollywood classic like It’s A Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street? How about a Christmas comedy like Elf or A Christmas Story? Or maybe you're in the mood from something schmaltzier on Lifetime. Hey, we don't judge. Here's a list of America's most beloved Christmas movies to help you decide!

Speaking of holiday movies, Clark Griswold's house in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is still the standard by which all displays of residential exterior illumination are measured. You can do it yourself and put Christmas lights on your house, or  go see what the pros have done at places like Speedway Christmas, DSBG's Holidays at the Garden, or McAdenville, a.k.a. Christmas Town USA. Either way, it's always a Merry Christmas for the power company!

According to a poll from YouGov.com, 39% of Americans prefer a real Christmas tree, 45% are happier with a reusable artificial Christmas tree, and the rest just aren't sure. No matter which camp you fall into, the tree is the thing that brings Christmas into your home. Many families have ornaments that hold some special meaning and putting them on the tree in an important holiday tradition.

Christmas presents are your whole reason for living when you're a kid, but it's still nice to be surprised by something new under the tree or in your stocking at any age. And it can be downright hilarious if you take part in a “Secret Santa” or "White Elephant” gift exchange at work or school.

This is what it's all about! Whether your family is religious or not, we can all agree that Christmas is when loved ones should get together, even if it's only once a year. And it doesn't matter who those people are! They could be your immediate family, other relatives, friends from childhood, college roommates, or your favorite co-workers. The holiday season is a time to appreciate one another, reminisce about the past, and make new memories.
