Plot
In Chicago, the McCallister family prepares to spend Christmas in Miami. Peter and Kate's ten-year-old son Kevin, unhappy with the trip, complains that Florida lacks the Christmas atmosphere of snow and trees. During a school Christmas pageant, Kevin's older brother Buzz humiliates him in front of the audience. Kevin retaliates by shoving Buzz, causing a chain reaction that topples the choir and ruins the event. At home, a frustrated Kevin refuses to apologize and berates his family for believing Buzz's lies and for wanting to spend Christmas in Florida. He storms off to the attic, wishing he could spend the holiday alone.
