The White House unveiled its 2025 Christmas decorations, themed “Home is Where the Heart Is.”
“The saying ‘Home is Where the Heart is’ resonates deeply with me, especially as I navigate the joys, challenges, and frequent motion that comes with motherhood and business,” First Lady Melania Trump said in a statement to Fox News. “The constant movement has taught me that home is not merely a physical space; rather, it is the warmth and comfort I carry within, regardless of my surroundings.”
“This Christmas, let’s celebrate the love we hold within ourselves and share it with the world around us,” she continued. “After all, wherever we are, we can create a home filled with grace, radiance, and endless possibilities.”
According to Fox News, the East Room’s theme is “Home is Where the Heart Is: America, Our Home,” and features patriotic decorations for the nation’s 250th anniversary. The decorations include national symbols such as eagles, the Great Seal, roses and oak.
The Green Room’s theme is “Home is Where the Heart Is: Family Fun,” featuring games and activities such as playing cards, Legos, and dominoes, among others. Furthermore, the Blue Room features decorations with blue, gold, and ivory, as well as gold stars to honor Gold Star families and ornaments depicting each state and territory’s birds.
The Red Room highlights the first lady’s “Fostering the Future” initiative, featuring thousands of butterflies.
In August, the first lady opened volunteer applications for White House decorating. “Americans from every U.S. state and territory are invited to apply for the opportunity to assist with decorating at the White House or showcase their talents as a performer at the holiday open houses,” the White House said at the time.
Last week, Mrs. Trump welcomed the White House Christmas tree.
