The Kardashian-Jenner family celebrated Christmas in a more intimate setting this year, opting out of their usual star-studded festivities. Khloé Kardashian shared this decision on December 24, 2025, through an Instagram video, explaining that the family chose a quieter gathering following the extravagant celebration of their mother, Kris Jenner’s, 70th birthday one month earlier. “We are not doing a big Christmas Eve party this year… we just wanted something more intimate,” said Khloé, 41.
Despite the reduced scale of this year’s celebrations, the family maintained their glamorous style. Khloé showcased her festive outfit, accessorized with pieces “on loan” from jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, emphasizing, “We are celebrating the holiday very glam and fab.”
Kris Jenner’s milestone birthday bash, held at the home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, featured an impressive guest list, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle. The event, themed around James Bond, incorporated luxurious decor and entertainment, setting a high bar for festive gatherings.
Traditions and Changes
The Kardashian-Jenner family has a long-standing tradition of hosting elaborate Christmas Eve parties. Khloé explained during an episode of her podcast, “Khloé in Wonderland,” that these celebrations have occurred since the 1970s and were originally hosted by their mother. Over the years, as the family expanded, the responsibility of hosting has shifted among siblings, with each taking turns to uphold the tradition.
Kris highlighted the complexity involved in organizing these events, stating, “It really takes a lot of energy, time, resources, money, creativity, just all of it.” This year’s decision to scale back was likely influenced by the recent birthday celebrations and the desire for a more personal experience.
Family Moments and Festive Spirit
As part of their Christmas celebration, the family shared glimpses of their holiday spirit on social media. Kim Kardashian, for instance, donned a vintage Thierry Mugler gown from 1986, while Kourtney Kardashian prepared her grandmother’s famous Beeshee dough for their festive gathering.
The joyful atmosphere was evident as Khloé shared photos of her children, including her daughter True, 7, spending quality time with her cousin Dream, 9, and her son Tatum, 3, posing with Santa. The presence of the younger generation underscores the importance of family connections during the holidays.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner were also spotted enjoying the festive moments, reinforcing the family’s commitment to celebrating together. As the Kardashian-Jenner clan moves forward with their traditions, the shift to a more intimate Christmas this year reflects their evolving family dynamics while still embracing the holiday spirit.
