Kardashian-Jenner’s iconic annual Christmas Eve celebration offered a subtle sweet nod to Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s low-key romance this year, with the actor officially integrated into the family’s festive holiday decor.
A standout custom gingerbread house took center stage at the holiday gathering, captured in an Instagram Stories post by Kourtney Kardashian’s stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya. The elaborate festive treat was adorned with individual sugar name plaques honoring every member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan and their loved ones. Positioned right beside Kylie Jenner’s plaque was a dedicated marker bearing “Timothée”, placed alongside the names of Kylie’s two children, Stormi and Aire, seamlessly incorporating the actor into the family’s holiday tradition.
While Chalamet’s name was immortalized in the family’s Christmas decor, the Wonka star was notably absent from all public photos and clips shared by Kylie and her sisters Kim, Khloé, and Kendall Jenner throughout the festivities. The pair has long maintained a private approach to their relationship, so his physical absence at the party does not dim the significance of his inclusion in the family’s seasonal decor.
The quiet holiday confirmation comes months after the couple made a rare coordinated red carpet appearance at the Marty Supreme premiere, where they turned heads in matching vibrant orange Chrome Hearts outfits, offering one of their most public displays of connection to date.
For this year’s lavish Christmas Eve party, Kylie leaned into sophisticated vintage glamour. She opted for a strapless black-and-white Galliano gown, paired with a structured sculptural updo and polished red-carpet makeup for a timeless festive look. She shared snapshots from the night alongside Kendall Jenner, who stunned in a vintage white Thierry Mugler ensemble, delivering a masterclass in elevated holiday evening wear.
Kylie has previously opened up about her decision to keep her romantic life out of the public spotlight, prioritizing privacy amid constant media attention. In a fall interview with ELLE, the beauty mogul explained her reserved approach to sharing personal life online. “I think it’s important to keep things to yourself,” she shared. “It’s hard for me to make decisions by myself sometimes, so having the whole world weighing in with their opinions can be really tough.”
The subtle Christmas decor inclusion marks another soft milestone for the couple’s low-key relationship, signaling Chalamet’s growing integration into the tight-knit Kardashian-Jenner family, even as they continue to guard their romance from public scrutiny.
