Kardashian annual Christmas Eve bash and family photo canceled for first time in 40 years after Halloween party backlash
FOR the first time in 40 years, the Kardashians won’t be having their annual Christmas Eve bash.
The famous family have also canceled their yearly festive photo, that fans have come to know and love.
They have taken the action following the backlash they had for their Halloween party amid the coronavirus pandemic.
After much speculation about the annual celebration, Khloe confirmed the star-studded bash will not be happening.
Taking to Twitter she said: “The Covid cases are getting out of control in CA. So we decided that we’re not doing a Christmas Eve party this year.
“It’s the first time we will not be having a Christmas Eve party since 1978 I believe.”
She then revealed the festive photo shoot was off too.
Replying to a fan she said: “We have not done anything. No Christmas photos and no Christmas Eve party this year. Covid has taken over.”
The Kardashian-Jenners have become known for their lavish holiday celebrations over the years.
For last year’s Christmas bash, Kourtney took over hosting duties and brought in Santa Claus as a special guest for the kids.
The family are known for their extravagance at Christmas, so the cancelation will hit them hard.
It comes after the family received a surge of criticism when Kendall Jenner threw an extravagant Halloween-themed 25th birthday party for more than 100 guests that appeared not to comply with social distancing or face masks.
She was called out for blowing out candles on her birthday cake in a waiter’s face.
An insider later exclusively revealed to The Sun that the Kardashians were well aware of the backlash they would receive but “did not care” and threw the “unsafe” bash anyway – though attendees were asked to take a coronavirus test prior to arrival.
The source said: “They knew this party was going to be a bad look and they did not care. The family was openly talking about it before the party and debating how to best handle it.”
Kim also faced a slew of backlash for documenting her celebrating her 40th birthday with more than 30 of her closest friends and family on a private island.

The KKW Beauty mogul was slammed for her “disgusting display of wealth” as she shared a series of family photos from the Tahitian island.
The mom-of-four said at the time: “After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.
“We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more.”
