Khloé Kardashian has shared a behind‑the‑scenes glimpse at one of the Kardashian‑Jenner family’s most talked‑about holiday traditions: their annual Christmas Eve party — including who foots the bill for the lavish celebration. The reality TV star, 41, discussed the details on her podcast Khloé in Wonderland, alongside her mother and family matriarch Kris Jenner.

The iconic Christmas Eve gathering traces its roots back to 1978, when Kris Jenner first hosted a modest family dinner at her home. Over the decades, it has evolved into a major event that draws hundreds of guests, with family and friends alike looking forward to the festive extravaganza. As the number of invitees grew — often including extended acquaintances — the event’s scale expanded significantly.

Discussing the logistics of the party, Khloé explained that while the hosting duties rotate among family members — with sisters often taking turns offering their homes as the venue — the costs are shared equally among all participating Kardashian‑Jenners. The clan regularly meets throughout the year to plan themes and details, using shared tools like a Pinterest board to coordinate decorations and ideas. Khloé joked that if someone misses the planning meetings, they don’t get much say in the final decisions.

This year, Khloé said she’s relieved not to be hosting, as everyone is pitching in and planning for sister Kendall Jenner to open her home for the celebration. Khloé described the rotating hosting system as a way to keep the tradition fun and manageable, especially as the guest list continues to grow each year.

Kris Jenner also highlighted how the family cherishes the party as a time of giving and celebration, often going all out with gifts and generous touches for loved ones. Past iterations of the event reportedly cost millions — with Kim Kardashian’s 2018 party alone estimated at around $1.3 million — underscoring just how grand the family’s festive commitments have become.

The Kardashian‑Jenner Christmas Eve party remains one of Hollywood’s most talked‑about celebrity holiday traditions — partly because of its glamour, partly because it displays family unity.
