In a recent revelation, Khloe Kardashian shared that her famous family evenly shares the expenses for their extravagant Christmas Eve party each year. This cherished tradition sees the Kardashian-Jenners taking turns hosting the glamorous affair, with last year’s celebration reportedly taking place at Kendall Jenner’s opulent Beverly Hills home, valued at $8.5 million.

Over the years, this festive gathering has attracted a host of celebrities, from Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez to Paris Hilton and Elon Musk. Notables like Dave Chappelle, John Legend, Tyler The Creator, and even Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have graced the event, adding star power to the already dazzling night.

Khloe, now 41, recently sat down with her mother, Kris Jenner, who at 70 remains the matriarch of this tradition, which she initiated back in 1978. This mother-daughter duo offered insights into the storied holiday celebration that has become a staple of their family’s social calendar.

The origins of this annual festivity date back to Kris’s days as a Beverly Hills housewife, when she was married to Robert Kardashian, who later gained fame as an attorney in the O.J. Simpson trial. As her children grew older and their social circles expanded, the guest list ballooned to accommodate ‘2-300 people.’ In response, the family began to rotate the hosting duties among various members, ensuring the tradition continued to thrive even as it evolved.

The annual party goes back to when Kris was a Beverly Hills housewife married to future O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian, the father of her four older children.

Kris hosted the beano every year until her children grew older and acquired so many friends that the guest list swelled to ‘2-300 people,’ at which point the venue began ‘rotating’ between members of the family, she shared on Khloe in Wonderland.

‘I thought it was so much more fun, and then every time one of you took the reins and did it yourself -‘ Kris began, before Khloe cut her off.

‘I won’t take the reins. I don’t want the reins. I don’t want that many people in my home, and this year I was very proud of you for saving me,’ Khloe told her mother.

Apparently a number of other Kardashian-Jenner homes were unavailable and Khloe’s was suggested, only for Kris to leap in and table Kendall’s as an alternative.

It was unclear whether Khloe and Kris – who live next door to each other – were referring to the latest Christmas party, which appeared to have been held at Kendall’s house, or next week’s.

Kris gushed that as her children grow older ‘it’s so exciting to see how you guys interpret your own Christmas Eve and how we can all enjoy each other every year.’

Khloe noted that the family will ‘include each other on the theme’ by way of ‘a Pinterest board’ and open invitation to ‘the Mindy Weiss meetings.’

Weiss, 56, is an event planner who enjoys a long association with the Kardashians, notably as the orchestrator of Kylie Jenner’s massive StormiWorld birthday carnivals for her daughter Stormi, seven, whom she shares with her rapper ex Travis Scott.

‘Not everyone shows up and that’s fine, but if you don’t show up, you don’t get a say-so,’ Khloe said. ‘Then you can’t come to the third meeting and be like: “Oh, I don’t like that.” Nope. We’ve already have two meetings before. We’ve decided on X, Y and Z.’

Kris added in a sugary tone that she enjoys being able to ‘share things with our friends,’ such as Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS products or Kendall’s 818 tequila.

‘You love a shameless plug,’ Khloe teased her mother, and while Kris insisted: ‘I love a party favor, that’s what I love,’ Khloe doubled down: ‘You love a plug.’

Kendall, the possible hostess of this year’s Christmas Eve bash, shed light on the upcoming knees-up in an interview last week.

‘Last year, we did a smaller Christmas Eve party, and it was super lovely. Usually, they’re kind of these blowouts for the last, like, since I was born,’ she said. 

‘But we’re doing a smaller one again this year, and I’m really happy about it,’ the supermodel told People. ‘And so it’ll be cozy vibes.’
