Plot
In Chicago, the McCallister family prepares to spend Christmas in Miami, Florida. Kate and Peter's 10-year-old son Kevin is unhappy, believing Miami lacks the traditional Christmas atmosphere of snow and trees. During a school Christmas pageant, Kevin's oldest brother Buzz humiliates him in front of the audience. Kevin retaliates by shoving Buzz, inadvertently knocking over the entire choir and ruining the event. At home, Kevin refuses to apologize and berates his family for accepting Buzz's insincere apology and for vacationing in Miami. He storms off to the attic, wishing he could spend the holiday alone.
