In the next week, we'll be barraged with holiday classics.
While you're watching Kevin McCallister laying traps for burglars, hearing Ralphie freak out over his eye being shot out, or watching Will Ferrell tell Peter Dinklage he's an angry Elf consider that not all of the Christmas classics are filmed on sets.
A lot of the homes – and apartments – where the holiday favorites take place are real, scattered throughout the U.S.
From New York to California see where you can visit the iconic homes from "Elf," "Home Alone," and "A Christmas Story."
The apartment where Buddy's dad lives in "Elf" is right outside Central Park in New York City.
Address: 55 Central Park W, New York NY
Though most of "It's a Wonderful Life" was filmed on a set built for the movie, the Martini's home does exist in Flintridge, California.
Address: 4587 Viro Rd, La Canada Flintridge, California
The McCallister house in "Home Alone" really is in Illinois.
Address: 671 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, Illinois
