Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song 'Go All Out' for Christmas with Their 2 Sons: 'We Want to Nurture That Belief'

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song encourage their children’s holiday spirit!

The Alone in the house alum, 44, revealed in a new interview with E! News that he and his fiancee are “going all out for Christmas at our house” for their two sons: Dakota, 3, and a 2-year-old whose name has yet to be revealed.

“Because right now they’re in a magical age that they believe in, and we want to nurture that belief,” Culkin said, adding that he even has a plan to explain where he’ll be during the screening Alone in the house across the country this month.

“I told them I was in Santa’s workshop fixing toys, because that’s what I do for them at home,” he said. “I’m so good that Santa invited me to the North Pole. They’re perfectly fine with that.”

All about the two children of Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song

Culkin’s duties during the holidays include stocking duty. He calls himself a “master” because he stays at the top of his game every year.

When it comes to gifts, his kids’ tastes seem to overlap — Dakota “wants a Spider-Man truck, he wants a New York truck, and he wants more gifts,” while his youngest son wants his own truck.

“And my youngest heard exactly what he said. He says, ‘I want a garbage truck. I want garbage cans and I want more presents.’ It’s like they’re making more wishes,” Culkin said. “I say, ‘You must be my sons.’ ”

Culkin added that he knew he did a good job of giving when Song asked him, “Where did you get that?” — something happened when he picked up Zoltar’s fortune-telling device, apparently from Switzerland.

He raved about the fact that his algorithm was flooded with recommendations based on his “strange taste” and that it simplified the search for gifts.

Culkin and Song’s children took a look at their father’s 1990 holiday classic. The actor previously told E! News that Dakota even mixes the actions of Kevin McCallister’s character’s father with his personal childhood memories.

He thinks he’s Kevin, Culkin said.

“I say, ‘Do you remember going down the stairs on the sled?’ He says, ‘Mmhmm, of course.’ I wonder, ‘Do you remember when he had yellow hair?’ And he said: ‘Aha, yes.’ ”

Dakota also told her dad that he “fought a burglar” — something Culkin had to jokingly shut down. “You’re a lying liar who lies,” he joked to his toddler, adding, “That was me!”

Culkin will treat Alone in the house fans to screenings of the film across the country this month, with a Q&A included Alone in the house: A nostalgic night with Macaulay Culkin.

The event continues this weekend in Milwaukee and Detroit, before heading to Ohio, New Jersey and beyond – ending on December 15th in Massachusetts.
