Reality television star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has officially kicked off the holiday season with a touching Instagram post on Christmas Eve. The SKIMS co-founder shared a series of photographs featuring her children alongside several of her nieces and nephews, all dressed in matching festive pyjamas.
A Coordinated Family Affair
Posting the carousel of images with the classic caption ''Twas the night before Christmas…', Kim showcased the younger members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan in a state of playful harmony. The children were pictured barefoot, laughing, cuddling, and posing together in their coordinated holiday sleepwear, creating an idyllic seasonal scene.
Appearing in the photos were three of Kim's four children: Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6. They were joined by their cousins: Khloé Kardashian's children True, 7, and Tatum, 3, and Rob Kardashian's daughter Dream, 9. The images captured a sweet moment of cousinly bonding, with Chicago in particular beaming a radiant smile in nearly every frame.
Fan Reaction and Notable Absence
While many followers were quick to flood the comments with heart emojis and festive messages, a significant number expressed confusion and concern over a glaring omission. Kim's eldest child, North West, 12, was absent from all of the photographs.
Several commenters gently inquired about her whereabouts, with one asking directly, 'Where's Northie?'. Others remarked on how grown-up the other children appeared. The post also drew attention to the striking resemblance between Kim's daughter Chicago and her cousin Dream, who were pictured closely together.
Aunt Khloé Kardashian joined the comment section to share her affection, writing enthusiastically, 'My babies!!!!!!! My Keeks!!!!'
Behind the Scenes of Holiday Perfection
This glossy, perfectly coordinated holiday campaign was shared just one day after Kim offered her followers a more candid glimpse into the reality of attempting a traditional family Christmas card. In a slideshow from inside her $60 million Hidden Hills mansion, the shoot was far from picture-perfect.
Saint appeared unimpressed, Psalm pulled silly faces, and North ultimately walked away from the camera. Once again, Chicago was the sole child who smiled consistently throughout the chaotic process. 'I really tried,' Kim captioned the behind-the-scenes look.
Kim has frequently spoken about how motherhood keeps her grounded. On a recent episode of her family's show, The Kardashians, she joked that her children provide a constant reality check. 'Anytime I need to be humbled, anytime I need a reality check, I just hang out with my kids,' she said, recalling how they tease her about slang or even suggest cosmetic procedures.
The festive post also arrives amid ongoing public discussion about Kardashian's co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband, Kanye West. The former couple, who finalised their divorce in 2021, share all four children. Earlier this year, Kim revealed on a podcast that it had been 'a couple months' since the children had last heard from West, who reportedly pays $200,000 monthly in child support.
Despite these challenges, Kardashian has consistently stated she never prevents her children from seeing their father. For the sake of stability, she chooses not to engage publicly with West's controversies, telling the cameras: 'My only focus and job is to stay strong for my kids.'
