Macaulay Culkin’s Kids & Home Alone! Day 5 of the 12 Laughs of Christmas

"I don't like the film The Holiday...when I say it, people disown me!"

Laura owes Carmen £100 for guessing what day in Christmas it is, and Carms is feeling delightfully delirious in the strange limbo between Christmas and New Year.

Together, they're diving into festive films: confession time-Carmen doesn’t like Nancy Meyers’ The Holiday (sorry, what?), while Laura isn’t a fan of Love Actually, even as a die-hard Richard Curtis fan.

Of course, they can’t resist Home Alone, which they agree is pure perfection… we’ll just glaze over Kevin not touching a single bite of macaroni cheese.

In this 12 Laughs of Christmas episode, the girls tackle a proper “shouldn’t laugh but” viral moment of 2025: the hilarious news that Macaulay Culkin revealed his kids don’t even recognise him in the film!

Enjoy - YA FILTHY ANIMALS!
