Home Alone 1 And 2: 20 Easter Eggs, References & In-Jokes

11. Red And Green Feature In Every Scene

One of the reasons people keep coming back to Home Alone year after year €“ aside from the hilarious bone crunching violence €“ is that it completely nails that nostalgic Christmas mood; it has the snowy scenery, the decorations and the John Williams score. The film€™s use of colour is designed to underline that feeling throughout, with every single scene featuring Christmassy colours like bright reds or greens; this includes clothes, furniture, wallpaper and €“ of course €“ the Christmas presents. This colour scheme - combined with the warm, cosy lighting inside the house - is what gives Home Alone that extra strength festive feeling.
