The McCallister kids have the first “Home Alone ”reunion in 30 years

The McCallisters are finally back together again — mostly.

Five members of the Home Alone cast reunited for the first time in 30 years over the weekend. Kristin Minter, Michael C. Maronna, Devin Ratray, Angela Goethals, and Jedidiah Cohen, all of whom played siblings or cousins of Macaulay Culkin's Kevin McCallister in the 1990 film, appeared at Pandoras Box Toys & Collectibles in Lafayette, N.J., for a meet and greet.

In a set of photos posted to Instagram documenting the event, the actors who played Kevin's siblings — sister Linnie (Goethals), older brother Buzz (Ratray), brother Jeff (Maronna), and cousins Heather (Minter) and Rod (Cohen) — greet fans, embrace each other, and pose in a silly conga line.

The family spirit clearly still runs strong with these former McCallisters, who've all gone on to widely divergent careers.

Directed by Christopher Columbus, Home Alone became a Christmas miracle for 20th Century Fox when it grossed a staggering $476 million at the box office on an $18 million budget.

The home-invasion comedy marked another cultural touchstone in the careers of Columbus and screenwriter John Hughes, launched Culkin's career, and remains one of the most successful films in the filmographies of many of its core cast, which also included Joe Pesci, Catherine O'Hara, and John Heard.

Culkin and O'Hara had their own mini Home Alone reunion in 2023 on the occasion of Culkin receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"I know you worked really hard, but you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do," O'Hara said at the ceremony. "This beautiful 10-year-old little boy was called a superstar, a moneymaker, one of the hottest leading young men in Hollywood. How does anyone survive that?"

Cohen, Ratray, and Maronna all reprised their roles in the 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. While Cohen stepped away from acting after the sequel, each of his costars continued to pursue careers in the industry, though not necessarily in front of the camera.

Maronna has taken on sporadic acting roles since the early 1990s, but has largely transitioned to a variety of electrical crew roles on projects like Nurse Jackie, Jessica Jones, and The Good Fight. Minter went on to play Randi Fronczak across nine seasons of ER, Ratray recently appeared in Better Call Saul and Steven Soderbergh's Kimi, and Goethals appeared in further classics like Jerry Maguire and Spanglish.
