The Kardashian-Jenner family broke from their tradition of hosting a massive, star-studded Christmas Eve bash this year, opting instead for a private family gathering. For the second consecutive year, Kendall Jenner hosted the event at her Beverly Hills home.
Despite the scaled-back guest list, the famous family maintained their signature high-fashion standards. Kendall wore a vintage white Mugler piece, while Kylie donned a black John Galliano dress. Kim arrived in a silver gown adorned with lights, and Khloé chose a strapless look accented with heavy jewelry.
Khloé Kardashian addressed the change in plans on Instagram, explaining that the family decided on an “intimate” night following Kris Jenner’s massive 70th birthday celebration in November. That James Bond-themed event featured a heavy-hitting guest list including Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle. Khloé noted that while the party was smaller, they still wanted to celebrate in a “glam and fab” way.
The Logistics of the annual tradition were recently discussed on the “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast, where Khloé revealed that the sisters and Kris split the costs of the event equally, regardless of who hosts. Kris Jenner, who started the tradition in 1978 before passing the hosting duties to her daughters, reflected on how the parties typically involve extravagant gift-giving for friends and elaborate themes.
In contrast to this year’s quiet affair, Kim Kardashian hosted a massive celebration in 2023 that featured real snow and sledding hills at her estate. Previous years have seen a long list of celebrity attendees, including Paris Hilton, John Legend, and Hailey Bieber.
