As it turns out, you could have very easily had The Christmas Chronicles 2’s younger version of Doug Pierce visiting relatives in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as it’s only a roughly five-hour drive from Boston.
Plus, there’s a woman who looks like an approximation of Kate McCallister’s character during that meltdown at the ticket counter in The Christmas Chronicles 2.
It’s also a roughly 11-13-hour drive from Winnetka, so Pennsylvania would have been a perfect intersection between the two universes.
As The Christmas Chronicles’ Pierce family is headquartered in Boston, and Home Alone’s big moment takes place in Scranton, there’s a bit of a question as to whether or not this big coincidence could even take place.
