The White House has officially thrown open its doors to the magic of the season, and this year’s 2025 Christmas theme is nothing short of spectacular.
The 2025 White House Christmas Theme is “Home Is Where The Heart Is,” according to an official press release issued Dec. 1 from The Office Of The First Lady.
The theme “illuminates the heartfelt character of America within the People’s House,” the statement read.
“The First Lady’s creative inspiration is drawn from the joys, challenges, and frequent motion derived from motherhood and business,” the press release noted.

Trump expressed her inspiration for the heart-warming holiday theme.
“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,” she said.
“This Christmas, let’s celebrate the love we hold within ourselves, and share it with the world around us. After all, wherever we are, we can create a home filled with grace, radiance, and endless possibilities,” her statement continued.

In a dazzling reveal bursting with color, light and pure holiday wonder, the administration unveiled a celebration that feels larger, brighter and more heartful than ever. Grand hallways featured towering trees sparkling with intricate ornaments, and every corner of the White House was thoughtfully prepared to capture the excitement of a storybook Christmas brought to life.

Christmas 2025 at The White House boasts the “Fostering the Future Red Room” experience. Blue butterflies illuminate the room, which is described in the press release as “a transformational experience dedicated to the foster-care community, a cause the First Lady has championed since 2021.”
“The striking color combination coupled with the butterflies symbolic meaning of transformation and renewal capture the essence of Christmas,” the press release stated.

Trump’s design was also deeply rooted in tradition, and it included 75 wreaths with classic red bows accenting the White House windows. The building’s hallways are filled with more than 50 Christmas trees and 10,000 butterflies.
The Blue Room is the home of the official 18-foot White House Christmas tree — a fir from Sidney, Michigan.
The tree “commemorates Gold Star Families with gold stars and ornaments representing the official bird and flower of every U.S. state and territory—a tribute to the resilience, bravery, and sacrifice of our military personnel and their families,” according to the press release.

America’s signature red, white and blue accents in the East room are a nod to the country’s upcoming 250th anniversary, and two presidential portraits created from over 6,000 puzzle pieces stun in the Green Room, presenting an opportunity for families to gather for a shared project.

“As Americans explore the historic rooms of the White House this holiday season, the 2025 Christmas decorations serve as a reminder that the strength of our Nation is found in its people—in our shared values, valued traditions, and the steadfast belief that home is where the heart is,” the press release concluded.
