'Incredibly depressing': Fans shocked by makeover of classic Christmas movie house
Ah, Christmas.
'Tis the season to watch endless festive movies, from rom-coms like The Holiday to black-and-white classics like Miracle on 34th Street.
Many of our favourite films were actually shot on location - meaning you can go and see the places they were made with your own two eyes.
Read through to see where these classic Christmas films were made.
Home Alone
A classic film that many of us grew up watching, Home Alone (and its sequels) remain firm favourites during the holidays.
According to multiple sources, Home Alone is one of the most watched and rewatched Christmas movies.
The actual home used for filming the movie still stands - though it's not open to the public, it was for sale last year, allowing fans to get a rare glimpse inside.
It's at 671 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, Chicago.
The interior and exterior were both used as the McAllister's house.
It has undergone extensive renovations since the 1990s, to become a much more modern home.
Many fans of the movie have expressed their dismay over the transformation, one person calling it "incredibly depressing".
