Warning: The following contains spoilers for Home Sweet Home Alone.
The soundtrack to the 6th Home Alone film, Home Sweet Home Alone, is filled with Christmas classics and nods to the original two films. The film is set in the same universe as the original two films, with cameos from some of the original cast. The reboot is streaming on Disney+ now, having debuted on November 12, 2021.
Home Sweet Home Alone follows a similar format to the original two films but with a couple of twists. Pam and Jeff McKenzie are reluctantly selling their home for financial reasons. Max and his mom, needing to use the bathroom, duck into the open house. They strike up a conversation with Jeff about his grandmother's ugly doll and how it might be worth a fortune. Later, Jeff confirms this but finds the prized doll missing and assumes Max took it. This results in several attempts to break into Max's house while Max, meanwhile, gets left home alone while his family goes to Tokyo. Max overhears them and falsely assumes they want to kidnap him. Eventually, the three confront each other and the truth comes out.

Being centered around Christmas, the soundtrack in Home Sweet Home Alone is no surprise. There are classic hymns and carols throughout, with a couple of original versions thrown in. There are also plenty of nods to the original films in both the soundtrack and the film's score.
"Home for the Holidays" by Robert Goulet – This song plays over the opening credits of the film. Slowly, it transitions into an open house viewing of Jeff and Pam's house.
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" – Pam and Jeff belong to a bell choir, The Ne'er Do Bells. The pair perform (badly) while arguing about Jeff breaking into a home to steal back their antique doll. The doll could be worth a small fortune and save their house.
"Christmas All Over Again" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – This is the classic moment in the Home Alone franchise where Max realizes he is home alone. He goes wild in this montage: faceplanting into M&Ms, trying on clothes, riding a scooter on a treadmill, and everything else he can think of.
"Somewhere in My Memory" by John Debney, John Williams, Leslie Bricusse – This number is another classic for the Home Alone series. At this moment, Pam is remembering all the memories in their house, from the first Christmas trees to moments when her kids were young. It's a turning point for her character as she decides to fight for her home.
"O Holy Night" – The film's church choir, led by Jeff and Pam's daughter, sings the classic hymn. Meanwhile, Pam and Jeff sneak out to break into Max's house. They decide the best way is by scaling the back wall. The Home Sweet Home Alone "robbers" seem doomed until Pam realizes there's a gate.
"Christmas Song" – Aunt Mei sings a very random Christmas song to her politely smiling (but horrified) family. The song references war and famine alongside the privileges their family has.
"Carol of the Bells" by Libera – After Pam, Jeff, and Max come to the realization that none of them has the doll and no one wants to kidnap any of them, they return to the McKenzie house. Ollie, Jeff and Pam's nephew, appears with the doll and throws it down the stairs. There is a mad, slow-motion scramble to catch the doll before it shatters.
"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Lowe – The end credits play while illustrations recap the film.
