In anticipation of the fast-approaching holdiay season, Happy Socks has partnered with child actor Macaulay Culkin -- best known for his role in 'Home Alone' -- to launch a collection of festive socks. The collection was inspired by Culkin's festive shenanigans and holiday pranks that were first played on screens in 1990.
"It’s not really the holidays unless there are socks under the tree, and Macaulay is on the TV screen. So we put the two together creating this weird and wonderful seasonal delight!" Viktor Tell, Co-Founder & Creative Director of Happy Socks. The collection feature a campaign where Culkin is petting his pet iguana, garbed in a hideous holiday sweater and wearing a pair of socks from the Happy Socks x Macaulay Culkin collection.
