Kardashian Christmas Traditions
Kardashian Christmas Traditions
By: Juliana French
The Kardashian family is known for many things, but one of the greatest may be how they ring in the holidays. In years past, the family has hosted a yearly Christmas Eve party, filled with A-listers, designer fashion, and decorations elaborate enough to make jaws drop.
On top of that, the family is known for their stunning Christmas cards, pulling out all the stops by turning high-fashion shoots into a family affair. However, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Kardashian-Jenner family has canceled their first Christmas Eve party since 1978, and they have yet to release this year’s Christmas card. No need to miss out, though, because we’re giving you a recap of some of the best Kardashian Christmas parties, cards, and traditions over the past years.
2018 Christmas Eve Party
In 2018, Kim Kardashian took the reins from her mother, Kris, throwing one of the most extravagant, iconic Christmas Eve parties that their guests, friends, and family had ever seen.
With great help from the family’s favorite party planner, Mindy Weiss, Kim transformed her house to look like something out of a fairytale, giving guests a chance to spread envy as they shared epic Instagram shots all evening. The guest list was nothing short of star-studded, as every celebrity in a 100-mile radius flocked to join the festivities. However, the cherry-on-top was the mountain of snow Kim placed in her backyard, giving the guests a chance to celebrate white-Christmas style.
Kardashian Kids: A Christmas Card Takeover
In 2015, the Kardashians debuted a Christmas Card that included Mason, Penelope, North, and Regin, as the only four grandchildren dressed in all black, chicly posed against a white backdrop. The strikingly simple card was different from their flashy, elaborate ones in the past, but it was nothing short of gorgeous all the same.
Flash forward three years, the family releases yet another card filled with the now nine grandchildren and their mothers, highlighting their family's growth over the three short years. However, the simplistic style of the card stayed the same, as they dressed in all white, with accents of gold adorned against a white backdrop. These cards have paved the way for the new generation of Kardashian-Jenner kids, posing for cards even more iconic than the last.

25 Days of a Kardashian Christmas
Rather than releasing a traditional Christmas card in 2017, the Kardashian family opted for a massive photoshoot, resulting in 25 days of pictures of the family running around a set in white t-shirts and denim, creating a classic family holiday feel. The pictures stunned viewers and followers as they waited day after day to see what they were going to post next. The family revealed sweet pictures of grandkids playing, sisters and spouses posing and even included a feature from MJ, Kris’s mother. As they wrapped up the 25-day celebration, they released a gleeful photo of the whole family, bringing the stunning photoshoot full circle.

2019 Christmas Eve Party
While their followers thought little to nothing could rival Kim’s 2018 Christmas Party, we were all taken aback once again when Kourtney hosted their annual party in 2019, alongside their trusted party planner Mindy Weiss. Comparatively low key to Kim’s Christmas Eve party, Kourtney created a cozy, glamorously rustic setting that provoked widespread envy and awe at the festivities. The party designed a homey feel for its guests and included the company of Santa, Mrs. Claus, and even a real-life Elf on the Shelf. The whole family showed up dressed to the nines, ready to celebrate and appreciate their “favorite time of the year,” once again proving that no one can throw a party quite like the Kardashians can.
Wonder how the Kardashians will celebrate this year? Until then, happy holidays, and thanks for joining us for 12 Days of Square! Check back for more holiday tips and tricks on www.umsquaremagazine.com.
