It wouldn’t be the holiday season without watching your favorite festive films.

Instead of bingeing on holiday classics from your couch, there are still holiday movie spots you can visit with friends and family.

Here are five films and their corresponding destinations to watch this season.

THE 10 BEST CHRISTMAS TOWNS IN AMERICA

1. “A Christmas Story”

A Christmas Story is full of unforgettable moments throughout the film, from the handing over of the leg lamp to the official Christmas gift of the Red Ryder BB gun.

But it’s the setting, the Parkers’ yellow-and-green home, that may be etched into the memories of holiday movie fans.

Fans of the film can visit the Cleveland home, which has operated as a bed and breakfast and museum since 2004, with their families, FOX Business reported.

After a restoration in 2006 to better mimic the classic house from the film, the house is filled with original Parker family costumes, props and other memorabilia, according to the museum’s website.

2. “Home Alone”

The brick exterior of this Georgian-style house could only belong to the McAllister family in Home Alone.

The well-known property in Winnetka, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, was a home for years but was up for sale earlier this year, FOX Business reported.

The home’s previous owners, Tim and Trisha Johnson, spoke to The Wall Street Journal about the home they purchased 12 years ago and noted that some changes had been made to the home before purchasing.

But in 2018, they undertook a major remodel and made a point of “keeping the front door and central staircase unchanged.”

“Sometimes we hear Kevin screaming,” Trisha Johnson said, referring to the moment in Home Alone where Macaulay Culkin’s character puts his hands over his face and screams.

Although the house is not open to the public, it is not uncommon for fans of the film to drive by and take a photo.

3. “Eloise at Christmastime”
