The Kardashians are taking a break from their extravagant Christmas Eve gatherings this year. Kim Kardashian recently disclosed in an interview that the family will be forgoing their annual festive celebration for a more low-key event.
“We’re having a really casual Christmas Eve party this year,” Kim mentioned to Vogue, attributing their change in plans to “a lot of construction” issues at home.

Despite the more subdued setting, Kim assured fans that they would still “dress to the nines,” emphasizing, “because that’s just our style.” Kylie certainly did not disappoint, flaunting a gorgeous sequin halter dress paired with pearl-encrusted heels and eye-catching diamond jewelry.
Meanwhile, Kendall embraced the winter vibe in her elegant cream dress, complemented by a dramatic curly bob hairstyle and striking diamond drop earrings.
This year marks a significant shift as it is the first time since the late 1970s that the family won’t host their grand holiday bash—aside from 2020, when the pandemic halted all celebrations.
Historically, these festive gatherings have attracted A-list guests and featured lavish decorations, often with budgets exceeding $1 million. Last year, Kim transformed her mansion into a winter wonderland, complete with fake snow and a dance area for guests. However, this year, construction has curtailed their extravagant festivities, leading to a simpler celebration.
