If you thought their birthday parties or Thanksgivings were over-the-top, prepare for the Kardashians to blow you away with their annual extravagant Christmas festivities, which reliably see Kris Jenner casually roll out her life-sized glass polar bear and Kylie Jenner oversee a 20-foot tall tree's journey into her mansion each and every December. While each seems genuinely thrilled to partake in the holiday cheer—except perhaps Kendall, though Kris and Kourtney have more than enough enthusiasm to compensate—celebrating the holiday also seems to have turned into a competition over the years. (Kourtney Kardashian already began passing that tradition on to the next generation two years ago, when she gave each of her three children their own Christmas trees.) There is, after all, no going back for the family after the extravaganza they threw in 2015, which proved tempting enough for even Drake and Jennifer Lopez (plus a reindeer or two) to join in. Ahead of their latest round of bacchanalia, take a look back at their past celebrations, from comparatively small to two-story tree-sized, here. (Before, of course, revisiting their equally infamous Christmas cards.)
2012
Kris Jenner heralded in the holiday season by matching a reindeer pal and sharing a snapshot captioned "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! ???⛄"

The reindeer Kourtney spent some "fireplace time" with looked a bit worse for wear.

2014
How to celebrate Christmas like Kendall Jenner: pause to show off your festive midriff mid-The Grinch.

Kendall's claim to fame may have come even before she became a supermodel, when she "caught" Santa Claus himself four years ago.

Kim devoted part of her Christmas Eve to looking back on festivities past, posting this #TBT of herself (on the right) with Kourtney and Khloé.

"Lol apparently my thigh was out all night. Totally normal," read Khloé's recap of her Christmas festivities in 2014.
2015
Get ready for the biggest year in Kardashian Christmas history: 2015. Kris appropriately amped things up a notch by matching the Christmas tree in camo.
2015
Even Corey Gamble, Scott Disick, and Tyga got embroidered stockings that year.

Kim, Kanye, and North spent Christmas Eve with an IRL Santa. (Kanye wore a Gucci by Tom Ford silk jacket for the occasion, naturally.)
2015
Khloé Kardashian wished her followers a merry Christmas from "Mase x KoKo."

Khloé also let her then two-year-old niece North West give her a makeover, taking on the title of "North's first makeup client."

Kris and Kendall Jenner paused to cozy up during the family's Christmas party.
In between, that is, spending time with one of their many guests, Drake.
2015
Fret not: Kendall also managed to squeeze in some time with their guest of honor.
2015
Though Drake admittedly did share that title with Jennifer Lopez, who brought her lookalike daughter Emme along for some hangs with Caitlyn Jenner.
2015
Another shot of Kanye's Tom Ford-era Gucci, in perfect contrast to Kim and North's all-black.

North West even came face to face with a real-life reindeer.
2015
Tyga followed the same dress code as North and Kim when spending some quality time with his now ex, Kylie.
2015
At the ripe old age of 18, Kylie hosted her first-ever Christmas dinner party at her new house, which is to say a $2.7 million mansion. On the table for her pals like Jordyn Woods and Justine Skye were dishes including potatoes, onions, and bacon, which the nascent food blogger dutifully documented on Snapchat.
2015
Kourtney shared this image of her gingerbread masterpiece with the caption, "Someone has been licking the house…"

Kylie also customized a gingerbread house for herself and Tyga—plus Tyga's son King and her four dogs, Bambi, Ernesto, Norman, and Penny.

The aftermath of the "madness" of Christmas at Kourtney's, who declared that she was "not ready for it to be over."

Kris's favorite life-sized polar bear got prime placement in 2016.
2016
Why have one Christmas tree when you can have five? Kourtney made like Beyoncé in giving each of her children their very own, plus two for the whole house.
2016
In stark contrast to Kourtney was "kenny's pink xmas," as her little sister Kendall put it when sharing her own decorations on Instagram.
2016
Before she even set hers up, Kylie put both of them to shame by sharing a look at the flatbed truck that helped move in her tree—no small feat, as it towered two stories high.
2016
She soon deleted the evidence, but the selfie she briefly Instagrammed proved the tree was indeed larger than life.
2017
In addition to showing off her favorite polar bear, Kris took care to flex her celeb connections last year: "My BFF #Jenniferlawrence asked me what i wanted for Christmas and of course I said a Porsche, DUH. My girl didn’t disappoint. Thank you Jen I love you!!! #bffsforever #christmassurprise #jlaw #soexcited."
2017
Two-year-old Saint West made the cut into last year's snapshots, alongside his sister North.
2018
Kourtney kicked off her Christmas celebrations early this year with a thirst trap captioned "So, I really love watches, and diamonds…a house on the beach?"
2018
In case you couldn't tell, Kylie Jenner shared that her holiday theme this year is gold, hence the towering, 20-foot tall metallic Christmas tree she showed off on Instagram to the soundtrack of "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
2018
Unsurprisingly, given that it's her daughter Stormi Webster's first Christmas, Kylie also went all-out by giving her a mini Lamborghini covered in Louis Vuitton monograms—no doubt the first of many presents to come, given that it came a few days before the 25th. (We wouldn't put it past her to give Stormi an actual Lamborghini when the holiday officially rolls around.)
