Image shows Disney+ poster for new “Home Alone” sequel titled “Cabin Alone.”

With Christmas on the horizon, some movie fans might be excited for a sequel to the popular holiday film series “Home Alone,” titled “Cabin Alone.” But they shouldn’t get their hopes up.

“New Home Alone!!! Kevin And His Mom!!!,” a Nov. 6 Facebook post said. It features an image of the stars of the original “Home Alone” movie, Macaulay Culkin, who plays Kevin McCallister and Catherine O’Hara, who plays Kevin’s mom, Kate McCallister. 

The image shared on Facebook says the plot of “Cabin Alone” follows a familiar path: Kevin and his mother travel to a cabin for the Christmas holidays while the rest of the family has flight delays. At the cabin, Kevin and his mom are targeted by robbers Marv and Harry. 

The image says, “With snow-covered traps, outrageous pranks, and high-stakes holiday antics, they turn the quiet cabin into a thrilling battleground that’ll have you laughing and cheering. Get ready for a wild holiday adventure with Cabin Alone, streaming on Disney+ this December!”

The Facebook post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Threads and Instagram.)

The poster and the supposed plot originated from a Nov. 3 Facebook post on a Facebook page that describes itself as “100% satire and fake news.” At the end of the post, it says: “For entertainment purposes only. Fan art. Make this movie!!!”

But some social media users reshared it without that disclaimer.

The website for Disney+ and the company’s social media accounts have no announcements about a movie titled “Cabin Alone” premiering in December or anytime.

The image of Culkin and O’Hara wearing Christmas-themed jumpers is an edited version of a photo that showed the two actors at a 2023 ceremony where Culkin was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
