Hillary Clinton will welcome a handful of the deep-pocketed donors who helped to fund her failed bid for the White House to a holiday party next week at New York's famed Plaza Hotel.

Page Six reports that the December 15 party will be a thank you to those who doled out millions to Clinton's campaign, honoring the Hillary for America finance leadership council.

Clinton's decision to host a joyful, and costly, celebration is a surprising one, especially just one month after her shocking loss in the general election

Among those who are expected to attend are Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, designer Tory Burch, investor Alan Patricof and billionaire hedge-fund manager Marc Lasry.

Those five not only donated to Clinton but also hosted fundraising events for the campaign.

Wintour also used her position to have Vogue formally endorse Clinton for president. 

Also in attendance at the holiday bash will be Tim Kaine, who usually throws his own holiday party the same day in New York City. 

This has led to some speculation that he may be planning a 2020 run for president. 

Clinton is sparing no expense for the event either, which will be held at in the hotel's Grand Ballroom.

The 4,800 square foot beaux-arts style ballroom has been the site of some of the city's most memorable, and lavish, wedding ceremonies, as well as where Truman Capote held his famed Black & White Ball. 

It is also where Donald Trump and his second wife Marla Maples held their wedding reception, back when Trump owned the hotel.

The rental fee for the room alone is reportedly $12,000, and that does not include the food and drink price for the guests.

In the end, most events held at the venue cost well over $100,000, and some have even topped $1million over the years.

The site of the venue is also just across the street from Trump Tower, meaning that after a few drinks guests could always walk outside and protest.
