‘Home Alone’ Star Macaulay Culkin Fronts Happy Socks Holiday Campaign

It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays for Happy Socks, which has launched its holiday campaign with “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin.
“You know, every day is a holiday, except for, you know, the holidays,” Culkin says in the campaign video. He channels his iconic mischievous character Kevin McCallister from the “Home Alone” series in the campaign, blowing up a garden gnome off camera, and shares the screen with a pet iguana. “I’m getting too old for this s–t,” he says in one scene, nodding toward the camera.
The campaign supports the Naughty or Nice capsule collection, the Swedish brand’s collaboration with the 39-year-old actor, and its holiday line. The collaboration collection, which retails from $16 for socks to $48 for a gift box, is comprised of three styles in festive colors and Culkin’s bunny motif. The characters are seen holding candy canes and on vacation sitting in sun chairs. The full collection includes eight holiday socks and a number of gift boxes shaped like candy and a mini Christmas tree.

Happy Socks cofounder Mikael Söderlindh said, “We were thinking of what global person everyone would think about for  the holidays. The most played movie during this time is ‘Home Alone’
