And I mean everything. It’s not just the obvious holiday decorations—though those are certainly there. It’s in the wallpaper in Kevin’s (Culkin) house, the clothing choices of nearly every character, even the way the fruit is arranged when Kevin heads to the grocery store. The pizza delivery scene? Red and green pizza box and the driver’s outfit matches. Bedding, bathroom storage boxes, little background props, you name it, it’s probably red or green.
Now, I know what some people are thinking: “Yeah, yeah, it’s a Christmas movie, obviously it’s red and green.” And they’re not wrong. But what makes this stand out is how the color scheme isn’t just a seasonal backdrop—it’s literally embedded into almost every aspect of the movie, whether it’s in the background or part of the main action. That kind of consistent attention to detail is wild when you think about it.
After spotting this, I had to do a little digging to see if anyone else had clocked it, and sure enough, I’m not the first or the only one. In fact, there are entire Reddit threads discussing it, but that didn’t make it any less fun to watch with fresh eyes.
