First lady Melania Trump unveils 2025 White House Christmas decorations

WATCH: Senate to hold hearing in wake of White House's East Wing demolition

First lady Melania Trump has unveiled this year's White House Christmas decorations.

In a post on X on Monday, Trump revealed the theme for this season, "Home Is Where the Heart Is."

"This Christmas, let's celebrate the love we hold within ourselves and share it with the world around us," the first lady wrote. "After all, wherever we are, we can create a home filled with endless possibilities.”

The 2025 holiday decorations were installed amid an ongoing renovation of the president and first lady's residence, which includes the demolition of the former White House East Wing and the building of an approximately $200 million new ballroom.

This year's decorations follow a red, white and blue theme. In the White House Red Room, blue butterflies adorn a Christmas tree alongside white ribbons reading "fostering the future" and white ornaments printed with the words "Be Best," the first lady's public-awareness campaign.

The mantle in the Red Room is dedicated to the foster care community, one of the first lady's main causes, according to a press release from the White House.

In the White House East Room, the decor celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Also among the decorations is also the 2025 Gingerbread House. The creation weighs in at over 120 pounds, according to the White House, and is on display in the White House State Dining Room.
