The Kardashian-Jenner family chose to forgo their traditional star-studded Christmas festivities in 2025, opting instead for a more intimate family gathering. Khloé Kardashian, 41, announced the change in plans via an Instagram video on December 24, stating, “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.”
Despite the scaled-down celebration, Khloé emphasized that the family’s festive spirit remained high. “But of course, we have to still be so dressed up because that is what we love to do,” she added, showcasing her glamorous outfit accessorized with pieces on loan from renowned jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz. “We are celebrating the holiday very glam and fab,” she remarked.
Just a month prior, Kris Jenner celebrated her milestone 70th birthday with a lavish party attended by numerous A-list celebrities, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle. This extravagant celebration took place at the home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, featuring a James Bond theme complete with poker and roulette tables.
The Kardashian-Jenner family’s Christmas gatherings have a long-standing tradition. Khloé shared insights into their holiday customs during an episode of her podcast, “Khloé in Wonderland.” She explained that their annual Christmas Eve party has been a family affair since before her birth, with her mother hosting since the 1970s. As the children grew older, they began to share hosting duties, ensuring the legacy continued.
Kris acknowledged the scale of organizing such events. “I think that it really takes a lot of energy, time, resources, money, creativity, just all of it,” she said. She reminisced about the family photoshoots they used to conduct, where they would wear matching Christmas outfits and create memorable images, a practice that grew more elaborate with each addition to the family.
The festive atmosphere of their 2025 celebration included various personal touches from family members. Kim Kardashian, for example, shared a glimpse of her stunning vintage Thierry Mugler gown from the designer’s 1986 collection. Photos also captured her playfully posing with her four children—North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5—whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
Kourtney Kardashian contributed to the holiday spirit by showcasing her baking skills, sharing a photo of herself in a green outfit while preparing her grandmother Helen Kardashian’s famous Beeshee dough for the family gathering. The festive cheer continued as Khloé shared moments of her children, including her daughter True and her son Tatum, during the celebration.
Overall, the Kardashian-Jenner family’s decision to celebrate Christmas in a more subdued manner reflects their desire for family connection amidst their often high-profile lives. As they gather together, they reaffirm their commitment to family traditions, making the holiday season a time of warmth and togetherness.
