Macaulay Culkin returns to his role as a Kevin McCallister for Google's latest ad.

Home Alone still stands as one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time. Nearly 30 years later, and it's still a movie that comes on atleast once or twice during the Christmas holidays. While the film was only the beginning of Macaulay Culkin's career, it's his most notable one. He was only 10 years old when the first film came out. But it looks like he decided to reprise his role one last time for a new Google commercial.

Google either ruined some childhoods or gave a few people a taste of nostalgia with their latest commercial. To get ready for the holidays, they tapped Macaulay Culkin to remake scenes from Home Alone as an adult Kevin. It's a commercial for Google assistant and you could only imagine how useful that would've been to the McCallister family at the time. If they actually had cell phones in the early 90s, maybe they wouldn't have left Kevin at home alone. And if Kevin had a Google assistant at home, he probably wouldn't have had to booby trap his house to catch the robbers. By the end of the commercial, adult Kevin asks Google to begin "operation Kevin" while he eats Mac and Cheese.

Google also shared some behind the scenes footage of their commercial which includes some hilarious bloopers and commentary from Macaulay Culkin himself.
