Plus, the touching Christmas wish that melted our hearts!
Last week, New York City got an early dose of holiday spirit at Mrs. Claus’ Holiday House, hosted by QVC and featuring none other than the Queen of Christmas herself, Kathy Hilton. The festive pop-up experience showcased all of Kathy’s QVC favorites, her holiday hosting must-haves, and also put her alongside some of her QVC pals such as Stacy London, Melissa Rivers, Babs Costello and more—all of whom gave a glimpse into their holiday staples. The Holiday House was decked out from top to bottom with decor, clothing, kitchenware and more—perfect for both gifting or simply a little holiday pick-me-up. With Kathy’s top picks available for purchase on QVC, Woman’s World chatted with the Christmas fanatic about finding time to relax while being the host with the most and what’s on her Christmas list this year!
Kathy Hilton on how to really have fun as a host
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? You’re so busy making sure everyone else is having the time of their lives that suddenly the party’s over and you realize you barely enjoyed a moment yourself! But here’s the beautiful thing about Kathy Hilton’s approach to holiday hosting—she’s discovered the secret to savoring every magical minute. For Kathy, much of the magic happens long before the first guest arrives. “I really enjoy planning the parties that I do, and I enjoy planning more than I actually do the party,” she revealed. However, after things get going and people are enjoying themselves, that’s when Kathy can take a step back and savor all of her hard work. “Once the party is in full swing, two hours into it, that’s when I relax and have a good time,” she shared. “And I just love getting the table ready and putting out all my pretty things.”
What’s on Kathy Hilton’s Christmas wish list

Though Kathy is booked and busy this holiday season, she’s grateful for the time she gets to spend with the people she loves around this time of year. When it comes to Christmas wishes, Kathy shares, “The wish is for everybody to have some peace on earth—that’s the most important. Good health and happiness and joy and feeling great.” Of course, Kathy also has her eye on a special little something for herself—and we’re so here for it! “For myself, I would say that there is a little Valentino purse that I would like. I like handbags a lot.” And who can blame her?! Every woman deserves a little sparkle under the tree—something that makes her heart sing every time she reaches for it!
As we gear up for the holiday season, Kathy’s beautiful reminder to savor the planning process, celebrate with the people we love, and yes, treat ourselves to something special along the way, feels like exactly the encouragement we needed. Here’s to creating our own magical holiday moments—and maybe finding that perfect little something under the tree that makes our hearts skip a beat!
