Their latest festive portrait has been branded 'cold' and 'unfestive'.
But the Kardashians annual Christmas cards haven't always been so contrived.
Take Khloe's personal favourite, the Harley Davidson-themed shoot, where the entire clan are hilariously clad in nineties leather motorcycle jackets and denim.
Khloe's favourite: Khloe Kardashian has opened up the family album to reveal the famous family's cards from across the years, including this hilarious Harley Davidson-themed shoot
Just like Kim last year, the youngest Kardashian sister has opened up the family album to reveal the famous family's cards from across the years.
Sharing them with fans via her blog, she wrote: Hi dolls!!!! Who’s getting excited for Christmas?! ME ME MEEEEE!!!!! LOL. In the spirit of the holiday, I thought it would be fun to share all of our family’s old Christmas cards. This Harley Davidson themed one will forever be my favorite haha.
'Kris Jenner has always been one to go ALL OUT. My sisters and brothers and I used to get annoyed by her holiday enthusiasm when we were younger, but now I’m so glad we have these silly cards and memories to look back on!'
Frog-themed: The earliest snap in Khloe's card collection show the family saying cheese alongside a giant green ninja turtle
As the years roll on and the family become more famous the images clearly become more and more glamorous.
The earliest snap in Khloe's card collection show the family saying cheese with a giant ninja turtle.
The girls are dressed in matching outfits to their mother, consisting of black long-sleeve dresses and knotted pearl necklace, and Kourtney has a very Eighties bowl haircut.
The family is joined by Bruce Jenner's children from his first marriages including Casey, Burt, Brandon and Brody.
Matching: Matching outfits are once again the theme, with the clan all wearing white shirts and tartan ties and pulling funny faces as they pose with Santa Claus

Kim's signature long brunette locks are in a short bob and Khloe's lighter locks are gradually darkening.
As the years roll on, Kris and Bruce's two daughters Kendall and Kylie join the group for the snaps, which begin to become more posed.

Jenner's other daughter Casey stands out in the snap with her statuesque height and blonde locks, as Rob wraps his arm around her.

Kris is slipped into a sparkling sequined dress as a young Kendall wears a matching mini skirt to her mother.
The greeting inside the card is a poignant one, written in script underneath another image of the family blowing kisses.
'Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. May you be blessed with many breath-taking moment,' it reads.

Soon there is an obvious change, perhaps dating to the year the family found fame through their Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality TV show.
The girls now wear glamorous dresses, highlighting their expensive haircuts and gym honed figures.
Dressed in daring red and set against a white backdrop, they strike seductive poses in full length designer gowns, while Bruce and brother Rob wear dapper suits.

The family's 2009 card featured new additions, with pregnant Kourteney and Khloe's husband Lamar, and even Ryan Seacrest making a surprise appearance.
The picture is taken in a more organic and special setting, Khloe's September wedding to Lamar.
Last year's card was also a very glamorous affair indeed.
Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kyle, Kendall, Bruce, Rob, Kris, Scott, little Mason and Lamar are all featured in the card, which has a very vintage Hollywood air to it.
Kim said of the snap last year: 'Every year the whole family gets together to take pics for our family Christmas card. This year was extra special because we had a new addition to the family… little Mason!

'We went super glam this year and each went for our own look. Kourt chose a tailored suit to match Mason and Scott, Khloe went for gorgeous peach ruffles and I chose a floor-length white gown. How stunning do Kendall and Kylie look!? This might be my favorite of all our family Christmas cards!'
This year the Kardashians came under fire for their sleek black tie card.
Many thought the card was 'cold' and almost 'creepy' like with it's stark aesthetic.
This time Kim, 31, decided for a suited and booted look for the family's latest shoot.
Stylish: Last year's card was also a very glamorous affair with the family opting for an Old-Hollywood theme
It was clearly a black tie affair, with her siblings also skipping cheesy festive sweaters for an altogether more sophisticated look.
Khloe, 27, opted for a variation of the same androgynous look with a sparkly jacket, white shirt and trousers.
Kourtney, 32, who is pregnant with her second child, vamped it up in a leather pencil skirt, white shirt and fur stole and kinky metallic-trimmed heels which she slipped on over stocking socks.
The Jenner girls, who are both still teenagers, both dressed well beyond their years for the photograph.
Aspiring model Kendall, 16, put her catwalk worthy legs on show in a tiered skirt which she wore with a sheer black top over a white shirt.
Frosty? This year the Kardashians came under fire for their sleek black tie card, with many thinking the image was 'cold' and almost 'creepy' like with it's stark aesthetic
Kylie, 14, slipped into a killer pair of heels and a black suit, which she wore with a pussy bow blouse.
The men - Rob, 24, Bruce, 62, Lamar, 32, and Kourtney's partner Scott Disick, 28 - all wore sharp tuxedos for the occasion.
The family's matriarch Kris, 56, provided the only splash of colour with a slinky and sparkly teal dress.
But it was little Mason, 1, who stole the show in his too cute trousers, bow-tie and braces.
In an effort to ensure the card is truly eye-popping, the family also provided a 3D edition.
Not so groomed: Khloe and her mother Kris both got caught in the wind this week
Kim wrote on her blog upon it's release: 'Here it is! Our 2011 Kardashian/Jenner family Christmas card!!!
'It was shot by the amazing Nick Saglimbeni and there’s a special 3D version that you can view with 3D glasses. What do you guys think?
'I love our family Christmas cards shoots and I think this one looks amazing!'
