Kris Jenner hosted most of the original parties before she passed the baton to Kim in 2019. In 1978, it started out as a party on Christmas Eve for Kris and her friends, but it quickly turned into so much more.

Then, more friends, family, grandparents and cousins started to attend. Over time, the festive bash grew but it wasn’t until 2017 when big-time celebrities began to attend, such as legendary Carole Bayer Sager.
