On Friday, November 17, Kim Kardashian shared videos on Instagram of her night at Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas One and All! concert with daughters Chicago and North at the Hollywood Bowl. In several videos, she sings along to Carey’s chart topping hits while holding a sleepy-looking North.
In another clip, the SKIMS founder showed Carey singing alongside her 12-year-old daughter Monroe. The legendary vocalist shares two children with ex-husband Nick Cannon, Monroe and her twin Morrocon. She herself posted a photo with Monroe in a carousel of images in which they’re holding hands on stage and they’re dressed in matching white gowns and crowns.
In footage shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, Carey greets Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner backstage, revealing the girls standing in the background. Kardashian brought along her nieces, as well, True Thompson, the five-year-old daughter of her sister Khloé, and seven-year-old Dream, the daughter of her brother Rob.
The family has always made a big production for the holiday with a number of well-attended parties. In a June 2019 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kardashian said, “Our Christmas Eve party was always this fun party that I just remember being friends and family and my grandparents and cousins. It was just the best night ever…But my mom’s been doing it for so long that it’s turned into something different. It’s kind of a party just for my mom and mostly her friends.”
Since then, hosting duties have been passed on to Jenner’s daughters, and it is now held at Kourtney Kardashian’s house after being shut down in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. But the festivities have clearly already begun for 2023.
