Everyone has their favorite Christmas movie, whether it's Home Alone or Die Hard. But did you know that you can personally visit places where some of these New Year's masterpieces were filmed?

For example, a house from the “Christmas story” was turned into a museum in honor of the film. And the Plaza Hotel from Odin Doma-2 is a real luxury hotel where anyone can stay (if he has several thousand dollars in stock).

So, take a look at the locations from your favorite Christmas movies in real life!

Kevin McCallister of Home Alone spends most of his time at his home while his entire family is in Paris.

This house is real, it is located in Winnetka, Illinois, in the suburbs of Chicago. In 2012, it was sold for more than $ 1.5 million.

In the sequel to the cult comedy, Kevin ends up in New York. Here, he encounters many local attractions such as the Plaza Hotel, as well as future U.S. President Donald Trump.

Hotel Plaza is just as luxurious in real life and is still considered one of the best and most iconic hotels in the world. A lot of famous films were shot here.
