As the McCallister family gathers at their Chicago residence, excitedly preparing for their Christmas vacation to Miami, the youngest son, Kevin McCallister, begins to feel uneasy about leaving behind the snowy winter for the sun-soaked beaches. His worries are compounded by the lack of traditional Christmas trees in Florida’s warm climate. A pivotal moment occurs during a school Christmas pageant, where Kevin’s older brother, Buzz McCallister, embarrasses him on stage.
