Rather than staging the large-scale bash fans have come to expect, the household opted for a pared-back evening focused on family time. Still, the atmosphere remained elevated and festive.
Who was there and how they dressed
The group kept the guest list limited to close family members. Guests arrived in full glam.
- Kendall Jenner wore an all-white, vintage Mugler look that drew attention.
- Kylie Jenner chose a black John Galliano ensemble.
- Kim Kardashian sparkled in a silver, light-catching gown.
- Khloé Kardashian picked a strapless dress and layered on diamonds from Lorraine Schwartz.
The evening was intimate, yet the family did not sacrifice their signature high-fashion presentation.
Why the family skipped the traditional big party
Khloé explained on social media that the family wanted a quieter holiday after a busy event season. She noted that they were focused on close family moments this year.
According to Khloé, the family had recently hosted large celebrations and wanted a different pace for the holiday. The tone of the night was family-first, but glam.
Earlier events this season — Kris’s star-studded November party
Kris Jenner’s elaborate party took place in November. That celebration followed a “James Bond” theme and drew a high-profile guest list.
- Notable names reported to have attended included Meghan Markle, Oprah Winfrey and Justin Bieber.
- The event was lavish and drew press attention for its celebrity roster.
How the family handles costs and hosting duties
Although Kendall hosted the Christmas Eve gathering at her home, Khloé revealed the expenses for larger family events are usually shared.
On a December episode of her podcast, Khloé said the siblings evenly split the bill when they put on the big party. They emphasized it as a communal family effort.
Kris reflected on the logistics and memories of hosting over the years, saying the event “gets really crazy” and mentioning how they enjoy surprising guests with gifts at the end of the night.
Roots of the holiday tradition and how it has changed
Kris Jenner began hosting the family’s holiday party decades ago, turning it into an annual fixture. Over time, the daughters have taken on more of the hosting duties.
The format has varied: some years saw intimate gatherings, while other years became full-blown winter spectacles.
