Every holiday season, TV networks and streaming services alike begin airing holiday classics including Dr. Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Miracle on 34th Street, Home Alone, Babes in Toyland and more! The latter classics (and many more) were filmed in the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s, which means your favorite childhood stars are all grown up. Do you remember Cindy Lou Who from Whoville in the Grinch classic? — Taylor Momsen played the adorable youngster on the quest for Christmas kindness, and now, she’s punk rock singer! What about Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin McCallister in Home Alone? — He’s still in the acting business, but will always be remembered for his brave and bold character. Drew Barrymore of Babes in Toyland is still in the acting biz as well, but she’s also a successful talk show host! See holiday movie kids then and now by clicking through the gallery!
