Khloé Kardashian‘s Christmas just got a whole lot cozier, ’cause she is welcoming a new member of the family … a puppy!!!

“The Kardashians” reality star revealed the adorable addition on her Instagram Christmas day … sharing the tiny black lab pup, surrounded by fellow presents and toys while sporting a dashing red collar with a bow — showing it’s named “Peppermint.”

The timing couldn’t be more festive with Christmas celebrations in full swing … and Peppermint is arriving just in time to join family traditions, snuggle by the tree, and likely steal the spotlight in some of Khloé’s festive social media posts.

This news comes just a week after Khloé shared a note to Santa from her kids True and Tatum — aka “Tay Tay” — which reads “Dear Santa please can I have a real puppy.”

The siblings specifically asking for a “Black lab” … but the duo makes it clear to Santa by emphasizing how he must “make sure it is real” — so seems like Santa certainly got the message.

Khloé couldn’t contain her emotions, captioning the post, “I am not ok right now. This maybe my gift because I could cry.” … as the young pup casually poses for its viral Insta debut.

It’s not the first time the Kardashian clan have brought pets into the spotlight. Khloé has long had a soft spot for animals, and her kids have grown up surrounded by furry friends … so Peppermint is clearly destined to become a permanent member of the reality family.

Showing off every angle of her new fur baby down to its perfect toes … fans can only hope to get more Peppermint coverage on the sisters’ social media.

A cop in Ohio almost ended up on Santa’s naughty list after pulling over Santa and Mrs. Claus for speeding … and the hilarious traffic stop is all on video.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s office shared video of one of their deputies pulling over an elderly couple dressed as Santa and Mrs. Clause over the weekend for “flying a little too fast.”

When the deputy realizes he’s talking to Father Christmas he exclaims, “Santa!!!”

Jolly old Saint Nick was packing heat too … he told the deputy he had a concealed carry weapon and the deputy replied, “Santa has a CCW? Times are rough!!!”

Santa said he’s got to protect himself and Mrs. Claus chimes in, “And the North Pole isn’t what it used to be.”

It’s gotta be the friendliest and funniest traffic stop ever recorded … there’s jokes about Santa’s age, Rudolph, and Christmas gifts … and the Clauses even pose for a pic with the deputy.

Things went sideways fast for streamer Clavicular ’cause he’s now been kicked off the streaming platform “Kick” … after a wild Christmas Eve livestream appeared to show him running over someone with his car.

The chaotic incident unfolded during a live broadcast on December 24th, where viewers watched Clavicular — real name Braden Peters — as he hits the gas while someone is laying on top of his windshield … one passenger freaks out while the other asks, “Is he dead? Hopefully.”

Shortly after clips went viral, Kick moved fast — removing the streamer from the platform entirely. Kick has not publicly detailed what policy was violated, but the ban comes amid mounting backlash and questions over how the livestream was allowed to continue in the first place.

Braden’s only response to the incident so far is an AI image of him in his Cybertruck running over the individual with the caption, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” … he has not publicly addressed the allegations or the ban otherwise.

It’s unclear whether anyone was seriously injured, and authorities have not yet confirmed if an investigation is underway.
