In Poland, we have a "bizarre TV tradition" of watching Home Alone during Christmas on one of the main TV stations (Polsat). Usually Home Alone 2 is played the next day.

One year the station wanted to play a different movie during the holiday season and people wrote petition to bring it back.

Home Alone is popular all over. It gets broadcasted in Japan, too.

In the Netherlands it wasn’t planned to be shown this year and a DJ started and completed a donation incentive to play the audio track on national radio:

Same thing in Portugal, for decades now. Similar to The Sound of Music.

Home Alone is a classic Christmas movie. That and Die Hard are Christmas tradition for my family.
