Kim Kardashian West reveals she photoshopped North into her family's Christmas card

WATCH: Kim Kardashian West not worried about ‘reputation’ while working with Trump

Kim Kardashian West recently revealed a secret about her family's 2019 Christmas card.

The mother of four shared that on the day her family did the photo shoot for their holiday card, her 6-year-old daughter, North, "refused to be in the shoot" -- so they photoshopped her in later.

"North was having a day. ... She just was crying because she wanted her specific hairstyle, whatever," Kardashian West said during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday.

"I said, 'Fine you're not gonna be in the card. That's the decision, you're not gonna be in the card -- I'm just going to take the family card without you.' And she was fine with that," the reality TV star continued. "The next day she woke up and was like 'Mommy, I really want to do a card.'"

She said fortunately the photographer was still in town and was able to get some snaps of North the next day.

"I would've rather done it this way than the anxiety of what I went through of trying to get -- I mean, Chicago has a cookie in her hand, I was really holding Psalm there, Saint was really there. The rest of us were there, but North… that was a lot," she added. "There's always one!"

Her family's 2019 Christmas card came out a success and features her entire family -- her husband Kanye West and their four children.

Kardashian West previously told E! News that in a break from tradition, she would not be shooting a holiday card with her siblings and their children this year.

"It's a lot to wrangle everybody," she explained.
