This Five Dollar Movie Night at Walton Arts Center Is a Holiday Win
Home Alone works on your couch, but it’s built for a theater. Walton Arts Center brings the holiday classic back to Baum Walker Hall this December, where you can watch Kevin take down the Wet Bandits on a screen that does the chaos justice.
THE DEETS
📅 Tuesday, December 23, 2025 | 6:30 PM
📍 Baum Walker Hall at Walton Arts Center, Bentonville
🎟️ Tickets start at $5
🔗 More info and ticket
At $5 a ticket, Baum Walker Hall’s screen and sound system make every crash, scream, and John Williams score feel bigger than your living room setup. Seating options include the main floor or balcony, depending on your viewing preference. You’ll probably catch details you’ve missed in your previous 47 viewings.
PJs are encouraged, and Walton Arts Center is providing free hot chocolate throughout the night. It’s a chance to take a break from the holiday hustle without having to dress up or stress about plans.
Watching this movie with other people who know every line changes the experience. The collective laughs when Joe Pesci takes a paint can to the face, the gasps during the ornament scene, the cheers when Kevin wins all amplifies the fun. You know what’s coming, everyone else knows what’s coming, and that shared anticipation makes it worthwhile.
Worth the Tuesday Night
December 23rd lands in that sweet spot right before the holiday chaos kicks in. Close enough to Christmas to feel festive, but far enough out that you’re not frantically wrapping presents or baking cookies. Round up your friends, bring your family, or turn it into a low-key date night where nobody has to pretend they haven’t seen this movie a million times.
