Reality TV stars Khloe Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner have offered a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into their family's notoriously exclusive annual Christmas Eve celebration. In a candid conversation on Khloe's podcast, the pair dished on the decades-old tradition's evolution, famous attendees, and some surprisingly racy speculation.
The Gossip Session: Hook-ups and Holiday Cheer
During the chat, Khloe, 41, slyly probed her 70-year-old mother about whether any romantic liaisons had ever occurred at the lavish event. "Has anyone ever hooked up at one of these parties?" Khloe asked. Kris initially played coy, responding, "I don't know!" but her daughter pressed further, suggesting scenarios from "in the bathroom" to "under the table."
Kris then turned the question back on Khloe, who has been publicly single since her split from NBA player Tristan Thompson in 2021. Khloe replied, "I don’t think so," before reflecting on her own party goals. "My goal on Christmas Eve is to be incoherently drunk, and it normally happens," she confessed, adding that while it hasn't occurred recently, she's had "great, wild times."
A Star-Studded Tradition Since 1978
The festive tradition was started by Kris Jenner in 1978, when she was a Beverly Hills housewife married to Robert Kardashian. She hosted every year until the guest list ballooned to between 200 and 300 people, forcing the family to rotate the venue among their various luxurious homes.
The party's guest list reads like a who's who of celebrity and business elite. Over the years, attendees have included Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez, Paris Hilton, Elon Musk, Dave Chappelle, John Legend, Tyler The Creator, and Sean 'Diddy' Combs before his recent legal troubles.
This year's event appears to have been held at the home of model Kendall Jenner, 28, after Khloe successfully dodged hosting duties. "I won't take the reins. I don't want that many people in my home," Khloe told her mother, thanking her for "saving" her.
Planning, Plugs, and 'Cozy Vibes'
The family coordinates themes via a shared Pinterest board and mandatory planning meetings with their long-time event planner, Mindy Weiss. "If you don't show up, you don't get a say-so," Khloe stated firmly, highlighting the serious business behind the festivities.
Kris also admitted to using the event for some family business promotion, enjoying the chance to share products like Kim's SKIMS or Kendall's 818 tequila with friends. "You love a shameless plug," Khloe teased her. Despite the history of large "blowout" parties, Kendall hinted this year's gathering would be more intimate, telling People magazine it would feature "cozy vibes."
As the family matures, Kris expressed joy in seeing how each member puts their own stamp on the holiday. The Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve bash remains a glittering, gossip-worthy fixture in the celebrity social calendar, blending family tradition with A-list excess.
