The clip comes from a tribute to John Hughes, who wrote and produced the first two "Home Alone" movies, that was done for one of Josh Gad's "Reunited Apart" YouTube videos.
In the first "Home Alone" movie Kevin is left home by mistake when Kate and the family travel to Paris. When Kate realizes her awful mistake she travels back home. In the sequel, it happens again. This time Kevin gets on the wrong plane and ends up in New York City on his own.
