If you expected anything but an over-the-top Christmas display from the woman behind one of the most successful business empires of the century, think again. While Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner dresses up her Calabasas, California, home with magazine-worthy holiday decorations each year, she outdid herself this December, turning her house into a winter wonderland with help from her friend and longtime collaborator, the celebrated Los Angeles floral designer Jeff Leatham. In the grand foyer, five towering evergreens are illuminated by twinkling lights that took nearly 24 hours to install and are framed by garlands of cedar, noble fir, and Douglas fir along the stairway bannisters. But that's not all. "One of the fun things is just deciding on what the theme of the tree is going to be because that sets the tone for the entire house," says Jenner, who chose, in Leatham's words, a "Kandyland-chic" motif, complete with oversize peppermint swirls, that's beyond sweet. "The whole aspect of this beautiful black-and-white floor with the red and white of the tree—it's about shape, it's about color," he says. The pièce de résistance or, as Jenner puts it, "the thing I'm most excited about": a custom-made red metal-and-glass polar bear that was delivered from Paris and is the only one of its kind in the U.S.
The contrasting palette continues in Jenner's formal dining room, where the table is set with plaid chargers, snowman-themed dishes, and luxe gold flatware by Christofle. "Plaid is very traditional, and it reminds me of being in the mountains," she says, noting her penchant for a little glam. Leatham enhanced the depth of the crimson tableware with monochromatic bouquets of red roses emboldened with hints of black calla lilies, "just to add that naughty or nice" element, he says. The bold hues give way to a more subdued take on holiday decor in the living room, where a sculptural garland over the mantel lends the feel of an elevated art installation. Animatronic reindeer stand guard over a collection of fuzzy white stockings hung by the chimney. "For us it was about whimsical—it's about fun, it's about family," says Leatham. No doubt it's a display that will inspire Christmas memories for years to come.
