Catherine O'Hara's 'Home Alone' TikTok Is Going Viral
by Kevin Martinez
03 December 2020Nothing screams "holiday season" like Home Alone. So naturally, when Catherine O'Hara (thee Kate McCallister) posted a TikTok recreating her iconic airport scene from the 1990 classic — the internet went crazy.
The video is a side by side duet of O'Hara and the clip in which O'Hara's character realizes her youngest child, Kevin, was left behind and not in fact on the family trip — erupting with a full-bodied "Kevin!"

Garnering 3.5 million views and over 437,000 likes thus far, the video resonated with '90s nostalgics and O'Hara fans alike — though it seems some were just discovering their favorite Moire Rose from Schitt's Creek has an even longer, more iconic filmography than they realized.
