Kardashians Skip Lavish Christmas Party Over Budget Concerns
Kardashians Skip Lavish Christmas Party Over Budget Concerns.
The Kardashian-Jenners usually throw a big Christmas Eve bash, but this year they seem to be opting for a more laid-back celebration instead of the usual extravagant party.
Kim recently shared with Vogue that they're keeping things super chill for their Christmas Eve party this year. She mentioned that there's “a lot of construction going on,” which makes it tough to host. Apparently, Kim is in the middle of renovating her $60 million mansion in Calabasas.
We're having a super cozy family gathering that I'm really looking forward to, she said. She also mentioned that the family still intends to get all dressed up as if it’s a red carpet affair, even though the guest list is a bit shorter this time around.
Kim hinted that there could be more big parties down the line, but this year is a bit of a break, so fans can look forward to the sparkle and excitement returning soon.
“They’re just beginning,” the SKIMS founder continued. “Our kids love them and now all their friends want to come. It’s such a fun tradition.”
The Kardashian-Jenner clan has definitely expanded over the years – all the original siblings have kids now, except for Kendall. With the family being so large these days, throwing massive parties is a bit tricky, both in terms of logistics and costs.
The family’s net worth is over $1 billion, with Kim and Kylie both being billionaires individually. So, it’s surprising to think that financial worries would make them skip their annual Christmas bash. However, sources say Kris is feeling the pressure about budget matters and the future of their Hulu series, The Kardashians.
Kris struck a $150 million deal with the network not too long ago, but the show isn’t getting the same ratings it used to, which has led to concerns about its financial future.
"Kris wants the show to go on forever, but the economic realities of the streaming world are creeping up on her whether she likes it or not,” a source told Life & Style. “That means everything – marketing budgets, fees, episode counts – is getting tighter in the name of [a streaming service like Hulu] making a profit.”
The family has recorded their yearly holiday bash for the show in the past, but with all the complaints about dull and overly scripted storylines, a party scene probably won’t attract the usual audience unless something wild happens. But hey, in the realm of the Kardashians and reality TV, anything can happen!
The Kardashian-Jenners’ decision to scale back their usual extravagant Christmas celebration reflects deeper concerns about their financial situation and the future of their Hulu series. Despite their massive wealth, the family is facing challenges in maintaining the high-cost lifestyle they've built, with rising concerns about diminishing show ratings and tighter budgets.

The scaled-back holiday gathering is a clear indication that the pressure of meeting both public expectations and the realities of the streaming economy is taking its toll. If this trend continues, fans may see fewer lavish events and more subdued moments from the family in the future.
