The Kardashian-Jenner family celebrated a quieter Christmas this year, opting for an intimate gathering rather than their usual star-studded festivities. In an Instagram video shared on December 24, Khloé Kardashian announced, “We are not doing a big Christmas Eve party this year because we just had my mom’s huge 70th and we just wanted something more intimate.” The family focused on spending quality time together, emphasizing a more personal holiday experience.
Despite the scaled-down celebration, Khloé, 41, assured fans that glamour was still a priority. “But of course we have to still be so dressed up because that is what we love to do,” she remarked, showcasing her outfit adorned with accessories on loan from renowned jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz. “We are celebrating the holiday very glam and fab,” she added.
From Lavish Parties to Family Time
The decision to forgo their traditional Christmas Eve party comes just a month after a lavish celebration for Kris Jenner’s milestone 70th birthday. This extravagant event featured appearances from high-profile guests, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle. The party took place at the home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, with a James Bond theme complete with poker and roulette tables.
Khloé and Kris have shared insights into their family’s Christmas traditions, which have been a staple for decades. “Every year we do a traditional Christmas Eve party that we’ve done since before I’ve been born,” Khloé explained during an episode of her podcast “Khloé in Wonderland.” She noted that their mother, Kris, has hosted the event since the 1970s, passing the responsibility to her children as they grew older. “It used to rotate siblings’ homes on who was going to host it,” she said.
Kris Jenner emphasized the effort that goes into planning the gathering, describing it as “a really big undertaking.” She elaborated, stating, “I think that it really takes a lot of energy, time, resources, money, creativity, just all of it.” The family used to conduct elaborate photoshoots in their Christmas outfits, which became increasingly grand as the family expanded.
Festive Family Moments
The Kardashian-Jenner family still embraced the holiday spirit, showcasing their festive attire on social media. Kim Kardashian donned a vintage Thierry Mugler gown from his iconic 1986 collection, while also sharing playful moments with her children—North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5—whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
Kourtney Kardashian shared a snapshot of herself in a green outfit, preparing her grandmother Helen Kardashian’s famous Beeshee dough for the family celebration. Khloé opted for an all-white ensemble, complemented by striking jewelry, while showcasing her children, including her daughter True Thompson, 7, and son Tatum, 3, as they enjoyed festive activities.
The family dynamic remained strong, with sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner sharing smiles and laughter in photos from their intimate holiday gathering. This shift towards a more personal celebration reflects the family’s desire to cherish their time together, even amidst their glamorous lives.
As the Kardashian-Jenner family continues to shape their traditions, this year’s Christmas serves as a reminder of the importance of family, intimacy, and shared moments during the holiday season.
