Have you ever imagined skating around the Rockefeller Center’s ice rink like Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel in the family classic, Elf, or wondered what it would be like to stroll through the village where Cameron Diaz stayed in The Holiday? While you may not be able to step into the film, you can be transported to some of the iconic locations. And, great as it is to hunker down every year in front of the TV for a good dose of nostalgia, maybe this is the year to relive those magical cinematic moments for real.
Home Alone
Chicago
What could be more exciting for a child than being left at home on their own? For Kevin McCallister that became a reality in this iconic 90s film. And the star of the show, besides Macaulay Culkin, was the red-brick mansion in which he lives. Located on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago’s affluent Winnetka suburb, the house is privately owned, but you can walk past this iconic building to get that allimportant photo.
