Inside Kathy Hilton’s 2025 Holiday Party—Where The Cheesecake Factory Was the Star Guest

There are holiday parties… and then there’s a Kathy Hilton holiday party, where A-listers were served a fully customized menu from one of her most unexpected (and delightfully relatable) favorites: The Cheesecake Factory. Yes, that Cheesecake Factory.
Following Kathy’s holiday celebration on Saturday, December 13, we’re sharing an inside look at the quietly iconic partnership behind her 2025 soiree. Kathy and Rick are longtime Cheesecake Factory loyalists (it’s one of their classic date-night spots), making the collaboration both playful and completely authentic.
The intimate guest list included Sugar Ray Leonard, Bozoma Saint John, Khloé Kardashian, Rachel Zoe, Demi Lovato, Selma Blair, Lisa Barlow, Angie Katsanevas, and more.
Curated by Kathy alongside The Cheesecake Factory culinary team and her personal chef, the spread featured:
- The Famous Factory Meatloaf (Kathy’s ultimate comfort pick)
- A selection of guest favorites from the brand’s 250+ item menu, including the new Baked Brie with Truffle-Honey Butter bites
- A full cheesecake moment, led by the Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake
- And the iconic Brown Bread, which Kathy calls a delicacy
And in true Kathy fashion, the gifting didn’t stop there! Each Hilton family member received a Cheesecake Factory gift card in their stocking, a favorite because it’s something everyone actually uses.
