Kathy Hilton refuses to let the holidays be only about sparkle and selfies. At QVC’s Holiday House pop-up in New York City, the 66-year-old reality star told News Of Los Angeles how she’s folding Phoenix and London-Paris Hilton’s toddler twins-into the clan’s long-running charity circuit.

How the Hiltons Spend December

Kathy, husband Rick Hilton, and their four adult children bounce between several Los Angeles charities each season. Their calendar includes:

  • Multiple toy drives
  • A mother-daughter pajama party with proceeds to Children’s Hospital
  • A December visit to L.A. Mission where they stock gift rooms for parents and kids

The Toddler Teaching Moment

During a recent toy drop-off, Phoenix and London spotted piles of unwrapped gifts and asked, “Are these for us?”

Kathy Hilton recalled:

> “I explained to them, ‘No, they’re not for you. These are for other children who are in the hospital or not as fortunate.'”

The pair stayed polite and kept their hands off the toys once grandma set them straight, she added.

What’s Next

Kathy plans to take the twins along when they serve the homeless once the children are older. For now, she’s happy simply laying the groundwork.

Key Takeaways

By folding the youngest generation into the giving routine, Kathy keeps the Hilton holiday spirit-and community impact-alive year after year.
