Kathy Hilton is officially QVC’s “Mrs. Claus” for 2025.
In her new role, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 66, will help shoppers discover gifts, including a special edition PrintFresh Pajama designed with illustrations of the inside of her Bel-Air, Los Angeles, home.
“Everybody really likes my front hall and wants to take a picture in front of the tree in that particular area by the staircase,” Hilton tells PEOPLE. “They say, ‘Oh, it’s iconic.’ So, I thought, ‘You know what? I’m going to give it to them on pajamas.’ ”
Along with the pajamas, debuting Nov. 2, Hilton will introduce to QVC a luxe jewelry collection with Anna Zuckerman and a candle collaboration with Harry Slatkin’s Slatkin & Co.
“A candle is always a great gift,” says Hilton. “Smell is so important.”

On Nov. 4, viewers will be able to tune in to QVC and QVC’s TikTok for a unique view of Hilton’s Annual Holiday Pajama Party, live from her home.
Then, on Nov. 19 and 20, Hilton will host Mrs. Claus’ Holiday House, a two-day pop-up experience at Iron23 in New York City. At the experience, guests will be able to explore imaginative holiday spaces, meet QVC personalities, discover special-edition products and shop the season’s collections.

In her own home, Hilton says she likes to get her holiday decorations “up before Thanksgiving,” and when it comes to hosting, she’s a lot “less formal” than she used to be.
“It used to be more formal and seated, but then somebody shows up late, somebody brings somebody, somebody cancels — it’s too much work,” she says. “Now, I let people sit where they want. So, you’re on your own. Have a drink, get your food. It’s a buffet. It’s just fun and easy.”
Beyond her work with QVC, Hilton has been busy filming season 15 of RHOBH.
“I will tell you, I know that the network is very excited,” she says. “So, that really pleases me. If they’re happy, I’m happy. I’m just a friend, so I don’t have all of the stress and the worry.”

Hilton’s sister Kyle Richards recently described the group trip to Italy in season 15 as “very intense,” a sentiment Hilton agrees with.
“The trip is pretty crazy,” she says. “Let’s put it this way: I’m known to like my little nap here and there, and I was the last to go to bed and the first to wake up because I wanted to get all the scoop.”
