Christmas calls for closeness and bonhomie and even those at the top of the entertainment industry also make their way home and soak in the spirits. However, in one such resplendent family reunion of the Kardashian-Jenner family, arguably the most popular of the lot, Kim Kardashian remained missing from a group video. The missing link came across as even more curious given that just on Christmas Eve, the socialite had made a post aimed either directly or indirectly at weaving the familial threads together.

Amid a slew of fans, taking their sleuthing skills to the limit in the search for an answer, the missing person herself came forward and revealed the reason.

Kim Kardashian did want to be in the family’s Christmas video but simply could not

Christmas brought out the best in many of Hollywood’s front lines, including Will Smith, who dropped a photo dump alongside Jada Pinkett Smith, ex-wife Sheree Zampino, and his kids. However, in an Instagram video by Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian remained noticeably absent despite the entire clan’s presence at her house. In an Instagram comment, the SKIMS owner revealed the reason while also lashing out at naysayers. “Ummmm hosting is a lot of work and this is my fave song!!!!! Haterssss”.

The Kardashian-Jenner family huddled together for Christmas at Kim Kardashian’s $60 million Los Angeles home. The Kylie Jenner clip had the members lip-sync to Ariana Grande’s ‘Santa Tell Me’ while the caption “We couldn’t find Kimberly,” fueled the speculations. Thus, as it turned out, the missing person was indeed present at the venue but was simply busy attending to guests. A family dinner, matching outfits, fake snow sledding, and entertainment by Babyface adorned the spectacle.

The very previous day, a post from the socialite had evoked deep nostalgia even as tensions within the family remained a highlight for the year.

Kris Jenner took fans a trip down the ages for Christmas Eve

Kim Kardashian quickly shared Kris Jenner’s post to her Instagram story on Christmas Eve as fans saw a glimpse into the family’s earliest past. The callback had the Kardashian siblings dressed in adorable matching frocks from their very early childhoods, as well as one from their teens and tweens. A snap of Jenner’s ex-husband and the socialite’s father, Robert Kardashian, also came to the fore.

Amid such a sound note, 2023 also had brewing tension between Kourtney and Kim Kardashian. Season four of The Kardashians opened on a bitter note as accusations and allegations flew in every direction. Yet, for Christmas, the events lay smooth and fatefully positive.
