The White House is decked out in Christmas decor for the holiday season.
The big picture: This year's theme, "Home is Where the Heart Is," is a bit pared down, especially without the East Wing to decorate. Despite that, there are still intricate details throughout including "Be Best" ornaments, a Lego portrait of the president and thousands of butterflies.
Flashback: During the first Trump administration, First Lady Melania Trump went with less traditional holiday decor — remember the "blood red" trees?
- The 2025 decorations are pretty classic Christmas.
By the numbers: Decorating the People's House is no small feat. Decorations include:
- 120 pounds of gingerbread
- 51 Christmas trees
- Over 25,000 feet of ribbon
- Over 10,000 butterflies
- Over 2,000 strands of lights
