Why not? They're both correct.

kicked off - informal of "to start"

We started/began the party with a keg stand.

We started/began (the party) with a couple of tequila shots.

I assume the expression has its origin in American football. It starts the game.

You can kick off a business meeting, kick off an interview, etc.

"A keg stand". It's kind of a competition. It's when you come to a party and threre's a keg. You do a head stang on top of a keg. Friends might hold your legs just to help you you. You put a plastic tube in your mouth and try to slurp as much beer as you can. Would the first one work in this case?
