Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve Party: A Family Tradition Decades in the Making

LOS ANGELES, CA – December 18, 2023 – Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian have lifted the veil on their family’s legendary annual Christmas Eve party, a tradition spanning decades. In the latest episode of Khloé’s “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast, the pair discussed the evolution of the event, from its humble beginnings in the 1970s hosted by Kris, to its current status as a star-studded extravaganza.

“Every year we do a traditional Christmas Eve party that we’ve done since before I’ve been born,” Khloé explained, adding that her mother eventually “handed the baton off” to her children to continue the tradition.

Kris Jenner emphasized the scale of the undertaking, noting that the party demands “a lot of energy, time, resources, money, creativity, just all of it.” She fondly recalled elaborate family photoshoots in Christmas outfits, a tradition that has become more streamlined with the advent of social media.

The annual event brings together the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan—Kim, Kourtney, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie, along with their closest friends and family. The party is known for its extravagant decorations, top-tier entertainment, and festive spirit. Planning meetings are held, where family members contribute ideas, and decisions are made collectively. Crucially, as Khloé emphasized, “if you don’t show up, you don’t get a say so.”

The cost of the lavish affair is equally split among the siblings. Kris Jenner noted that the party has evolved into a massive celebration. “These parties are so epic and they’ve grown into this enormous proportion and everybody looks forward to it every year. Our friends who’ve never celebrated Christmas love to come.” Past entertainment has included performances by artists like Babyface.

While the hosting duties used to rotate among the siblings, Khloé admitted she’s not a fan of the responsibility. This year, with Kim and Kourtney’s houses under construction and Kylie’s situation unknown, Kris stepped in to suggest Kendall as the host, much to Khloé’s relief. “You think I want people in my home? No. No! I don’t want the party,” Khloé confessed.

The Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve party continues to be a highlight of the holiday season, a testament to the family’s dedication to tradition, celebration, and creating unforgettable memories.
