Parents watching the classic movie Home Alone this holiday season are discovering a surprising new trend: kids are constantly yelling “6-7!” A viral craze among middle schoolers has made this number combination a popular shout-out, and the 1990 film is packed with scenes that set it off.
A playful trend has been circulating online for months, where children repeat the numbers “six-seven” in a sing-song voice.
The movie Home Alone includes the numbers 6 and 7 in a few places. Kevin’s address is 671 Lincoln Boulevard, a cousin counts to “six, seven” before going to the airport, and John Candy’s character mentions “six, seven weeks” in a story. These little details are causing a lot of excitement among viewers in Generation Alpha.
Parents are posting videos online of their kids’ reactions while watching a certain movie. Melissa Todd, from Connersville, noticed her 7-year-old daughter suddenly stood up and yelled “6-7!” after a specific line, and her 10-year-old son chimed in as well, though more softly. Todd shared a heads-up on Facebook to let other parents know to expect similar surprises from their children.
The ‘6-7’ trend is proving to be a fun distraction for many parents, though it can sometimes interrupt family movie nights. Videos collecting all the instances of the phrase in the film are popular online, and some teachers are even using it to get students involved in lessons.
Even though it’s a classic, Home Alone is still the most popular holiday movie in 2024, according to the Siena Research Institute, showing how viral trends can keep older films relevant.
