In the hit 1990 movie, which stars Macaulay Culkin as the sweet eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, a blunder has been spotted and fans are up in arms.

The movie, which is watched by millions each year when the festive season rolls around, follows Kevin when he gets accidentally left behind when his family jets off to France for the holidays.

While home alone, the seemingly empty home gets targeted by two burglars.

When the burglars target the McCallister home, Kevin does everything he can to wreak havoc on their plans.

As fans rush to rewatch the Christmas classic ahead of this year's holiday season, they have noticed something wrong with the filming.

In the Movie Mistakes Reddit forum, one person shared how they spotted a huge blunder in the hit Christmas movie Home Alone.

"In Home Alone (1990), Kevin can be seen sitting down for a dinner of Mac and Cheese," the Reddit user penned, which refers to the first photo in this story.

"Minutes later, when Harry is in the dining room, the Mac and Cheese has been replaced with a generic TV dinner," they concluded.

CAREER DESTROYED BECAUSE OF BLUNDER

Fans and fellow Reddit users were then quick to weigh in with their thoughts.

"Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder," penned one person.

Another then said: "That propmaster never worked in Hollywood again. It destroyed his career."

"I don’t know how the people on set DON’T notice this," said a third.

A fourth defended the scene and added: "It's Christmas Eve, Kevin can have two dinners, lol."

While a fifth penned: "And the candle grew!"

"How about the house being spotlessly cleaned by an 8 year old after it being turned into a war zone by same 8 year old hours earlier. It would have taken a professional cleaning crew 2 days."

And this isn't the only blunder in the hit flick, with another big mistake was spotted five years ago.

"In Home Alone (1990), when Harry is threatening Kevin upstairs, he has his hands raised.

"And the burn mark, that he got on his right hand earlier from the red hot doorknob, seems to have disappeared," penned one person in the Movie Blunders Reddit forum in 2019.
