Sydney Sweeney recreates iconic ‘Home Alone’ scene for new lingerie campaign
Sydney Sweeney has recreated scenes from the Christmas film *Home Alone* in a holiday advert for Syrn, her lingerie and loungewear brand. The playful campaign promotes the brand’s new “Hibernation Nation” collection and joins a series of seasonal videos drawing on classic festive films.
The video references Kevin McCallister’s aftershave scream, his reaction to a figure behind a curtain and his ice cream sundae. Sweeney launched Syrn in January and has said she wants its lingerie to suit a range of body types; the holiday campaign has also taken inspiration from *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* and *The Nightmare Before Christmas*.
In short
- Sydney Sweeney’s Syrn advert recreates scenes from *Home Alone*.
- The video promotes the “Hibernation Nation” holiday collection.
- Earlier campaign clips drew on other Christmas films.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
The campaign can be seen as playful seasonal marketing that reworks familiar film moments to draw attention to a new brand. Sweeney has said she wants Syrn to serve a range of body types, and a light-hearted advert may help make the collection feel accessible and build interest in the business.
The case against
The advert can also be seen as using a much-loved family film to sell lingerie, potentially changing the tone of scenes audiences associate with childhood and Christmas. More broadly, critics may question whether nostalgia and celebrity attention are being used to market intimate apparel in ways that prioritise sales over the film’s original appeal.
