Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian have offered a rare glimpse into the opulent world of the Kardashian-Jenner family’s annual Christmas Eve party. This celebrated tradition, which has been a staple since the 1970s, was discussed in detail during the December 17 episode of Khloé’s podcast, “Khloé in Wonderland.”
“So for people who don’t know, every year we do a traditional Christmas Eve party that we’ve done since before I’ve been born,” Khloé Kardashian, 41, explained. “My mom has been hosting them since the ‘70s.” The event, which has evolved over the years, is now a collaborative effort among the siblings, rotating between their homes.
The Evolution of a Holiday Tradition
Kris Jenner, 70, acknowledged the party’s transformation from a modest family gathering to a grand celebration. “It really takes a lot of energy, time, resources, money, creativity, just all of it,” she said. Before the era of social media, the family would engage in elaborate photoshoots, capturing the festive spirit with their growing number of children.
Every year, the Kardashian-Jenner clan, including Kim, Kourtney, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie, gathers to celebrate with close friends and family. The event is known for its extravagant decorations and high-profile entertainment, making it a much-anticipated occasion.
Planning and Financing the Festivities
Khloé Kardashian shed light on the meticulous planning process behind the party. “We hold meetings to plan the event,” she noted. “Not everyone shows up, and that’s fine, but if you don’t show up, you don’t get a say.” She revealed that the cost of the party is shared equally among the family members.
Kris Jenner emphasized the excitement surrounding the event, noting, “These parties are so epic and they’ve grown into this enormous proportion. Our friends who’ve never celebrated Christmas love to come.” The parties often feature performances by renowned artists, such as Babyface, adding to the allure.
From Intimate Gatherings to Grand Soirees
The annual bash, which began as a small family affair, has expanded significantly over the years. “When you guys got older and you grew up, you guys all had your own friends,” Kris reflected. “Now there’s a couple hundred, two to 300 people at a Christmas party.”
This growth has prompted the need for the event to rotate between the siblings’ homes. Khloé confessed her reluctance to host, expressing gratitude to her mother for sparing her this year. “I don’t want that many people in my house,” she admitted. “And this year, I was very proud of you for saving me.”
The Cultural Impact of Kardashian-Jenner Celebrations
The Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve party is more than just a family tradition; it has become a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing the family’s influence and their ability to capture public attention. The event’s evolution reflects broader societal trends, such as the rise of social media and the public’s fascination with celebrity culture.
As the family continues to grow and evolve, so too does their holiday celebration, offering a glimpse into the dynamics of one of the world’s most famous families. The party not only serves as a festive gathering but also as a testament to the Kardashian-Jenner’s enduring legacy in the entertainment industry.
Looking ahead, the anticipation for future celebrations remains high, with fans and friends alike eager to see how the family will continue to outdo themselves, keeping the tradition alive for generations to come.
