The Kardashian-Jenner family’s Christmas looked quite different this year. 

For decades, the reality stars have hosted extravagant parties for their friends and families. This year, the family’s usual plans prompted backlash.

After Khloe Kardashian hinted that they were still planning on having the event amid the coronavirus pandemic, many fans were outraged that they’d consider holding the party. The reality stars ultimately canceled the festivities in early December. 

Instead of the party, which reportedly cost an estimated $440,000 in 2019 and an estimated $1.3 million in 2018, Kourtney Kardashian said she was having “just the family coming over” to her house on Christmas Eve. 

Despite the smaller guest list, the Kardashian-Jenners still got dressed up for the outing. Keep reading to see how they celebrated Christmas this year. 

Kourtney Kardashian hosted the family for the second year in a row

Last year, Kourtney went all-out while hosting the annual party. She had an upside-down Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling, carolers serenading guests, and a man sitting in a sleigh as Elf on the Shelf. 

She invited "just her family" over this year instead, decorating her front doorstep with inflatable snowmen and Santa Claus statues.

It's likely that Khloe was in the Boston area to visit Tristan Thompson, True's father who recently joined the Boston Celtics. 

Thompson also partook in the festive activities and appeared to build a gingerbread house with True. Both of their names were written on the front with frosting, as seen on the NBA player's Instagram story. 

Kim Kardashian West got dressed up for a night with her family

In a form-fitting bodice, green skirt, and long braid, the SKIMS founder spent Christmas Eve at Kourtney's home. 

She also posed with Kylie Jenner, who wore all red. Kim wrote that she was "The Grinch" and Kylie was "Santa."
