Kim Kardashian has left fans baffled as she appeared to have an extra thumb just in time for Christmas.

The reality star gave us all a glimpse into her annual family celebrations on Instagram – including her unique take on wrapping – while also sharing countless photos with her family, including children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

In one upload, the 43-year-old could be seen grinning widely alongside her eldest daughter, who donned dad Kanye West’s jacket for the lavish occasion.

However, while we were taking in those ornate Christmas trees and stunning outfits, some eagle-eyed followers spotted that she had an extra thumb in the picture in question.

Sliding into the comments section, one simply questioned: ‘Why do you have two thumbs in pic 4?’

‘Does Kim have two thumbs?,’ a baffled follower asked.

‘Look at the 4th pik lol she has 2 thumbs [sic],’ another laughed.

An Instagram user penned: ‘Picture four, you have two thumbs, girl.’

Reddit fans were also surprised by the upload, with a commenter posting: ‘This is a hilarious Photoshop fail.’

As one social media follower queried: ‘Why does Kim have 2 thumbs lmfao.’

To be fair to Kim, before we all rush to discuss the ‘Photoshop fail’, one suggested that the whole thing could be an ‘optical illusion’, adding: ‘It’s the thumb from her other hand. She’s holding on with both hands.’

In the infamous words of Kris Jenner, this might just be a case for the FBI…

While the mom-of-four was posing up a storm with her children, it seems that she missed out on a special moment with the rest of her family.

In an iconic clip from the bash, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian lip-synced to Ariana Grande’s hit, Santa Tell Me, along with siblings Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

Momager Kris also got in on the action, but the Skims businesswoman was otherwise engaged during the sweet moment.

Poking fun of her absence in the Instagram caption, Kylie joked: ‘We couldn’t find Kimberly.’

Having absolutely none of it, Kim stormed into the comments below to add: ‘Ummmm hosting is a lot of work and this is my fave song!!!!! Haterssss [sic].’

Hopefully she’s able to pause hosting duties for three minutes next year…
