Whether it’s the charming cottages of The Holiday or the grand mansions of Home Alone, these homes are often the centerpiece of the seasonal cheer.
“While many are, unsurprisingly, fictional, a few of these iconic locations are actually within grasp for yearlong fans. While those grand, opulent mansions might be out of reach, there are more modest yet charming homes that are attainable than you think.”
