The trailer for Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge (2025) kicks off with a nostalgic nod to the original films, as the iconic holiday music plays over scenes of a festive suburban neighborhood. The camera zooms in on a now-teenage Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, who’s returning to his childhood home for Christmas. Kevin’s character has grown up but still carries the sharp wit and ingenuity that made him famous in his younger years.
The peace and cheer of the holiday season are quickly disrupted when Kevin discovers that his family home, which he is now staying in while his parents are away on a trip, is targeted by a new gang of criminals. The gang, led by a suave but menacing villain named Victor (played by Pedro Pascal), plans to rob the McCallister house, believing it to be the location of hidden, valuable artifacts.
Kevin is initially taken by surprise, but his old instincts kick in. The trailer shows him setting up an array of clever traps and gadgets throughout the house, revisiting and updating his old tricks with a modern twist. From a high-tech security system to intricate Rube Goldberg machines, Kevin’s preparations are both inventive and amusing.
As the gang attempts to break into the house, the trailer showcases a series of slapstick comedy scenes where they fall victim to Kevin’s traps. There are scenes of them getting stuck in elaborate contraptions, slipping on marbles, and encountering painful surprises. Despite their high-tech equipment, the gang is no match for Kevin’s ingenuity.
The tension heightens when Victor captures Kevin, revealing his true motive: he believes Kevin knows the secret location of a priceless artifact hidden somewhere in the house. Kevin, with his quick thinking and determination, uses his wits to outsmart Victor and his crew in a climactic showdown.
The trailer ends with a heartwarming moment where Kevin reunites with his family, and his parents express their pride in his bravery. As Kevin says, “Some things never change,” the screen fades to black with the title Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge and a promise of a holiday adventure filled with humor, heart, and the spirit of a classic Christmas tale.
