Immersive Experiences and Record-Breaking Gingerbread House
In December 2025, Disney+ is commemorating the 35th anniversary of the holiday classic *Home Alone* with a series of immersive experiences across the United States. Central to the celebration is an attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the world's largest gingerbread house, modeled after the McCallister home from the film. This massive structure will measure 58 feet long, 42 feet wide, and 25.6 feet tall, constructed from 5,700 pounds of flour, 4,200 eggs, and 4,400 gingerbread bricks, among other ingredients. The gingerbread house will be open to the public on December 18 and 19 at Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles, California.
In addition to the gingerbread house, Disney+ is collaborating with Prince St. Pizza to bring the fictional Little Nero's Pizzeria to life. From December 10 to 17, select locations nationwide will feature themed branding and menus, including a special pizza named "The Lovely Cheese Pizza," a nod to Kevin McCallister's iconic order. The Studio City location in Los Angeles will undergo a full transformation, complete with nostalgic decor and the Little Nero's delivery car for photo opportunities.
Holiday Travel Activation
To enhance the holiday travel experience, Disney+ has partnered with CLEAR for a special activation titled "No Kevin Left Behind." This initiative will take place from December 17 to 21 at nine major U.S. airports, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), Denver International (DEN), and Los Angeles International (LAX). CLEAR+ Members will receive limited-edition *Home Alone*-themed ornaments, and those named Kevin using select CLEAR lanes will be eligible for complimentary CLEAR Concierge service on future trips.
Community Engagement and Giving Back
As part of the festivities, visitors to the gingerbread house are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys to Toys for Tots, fostering a spirit of giving during the holiday season. Disney+ is also promoting a complimentary three-month CLEAR+ trial for subscribers, allowing even those not traveling to participate in the holiday cheer.
