First Lady Melania Trump has announced the 2025 White House Christmas theme, “Home Is Where The Heart Is,” a concept she says “illuminates the heartfelt character of America” within the People’s House.

According to the Office of the First Lady, her creative inspiration reflects the joys, challenges, and constant motion of motherhood and business. “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,” the First Lady said in a statement.

“This Christmas, let’s celebrate the love we hold within ourselves, and share it with the world around us,” she added. “After all, wherever we are, we can create a home filled with grace, radiance, and endless possibilities.”

Fostering the Future Red Room

For this year’s holiday preparations, the First Lady enlisted renowned designer Hervé Pierre to bring her vision to life. Blue butterflies illuminate the “Fostering the Future Red Room,” a space dedicated to the foster-care community, a cause Trump has supported since 2021. The vivid colors and the butterfly’s symbolism of renewal and transformation echo the spirit of Christmas.

Pierre also designed a limited-edition tour booklet, offering guests an artistic keepsake that captures the theme and decorative details of the 2025 White House holiday season.

Time-Honored Tradition

“Honoring tradition, 75 of First Lady’s signature wreaths with classic red bows adorn the White House windows, and more than 50 Christmas trees, 700 feet of garland, 25,000 feet of ribbon, and 10,000 butterflies fill the halls with holiday warmth.”

Gold Star Families

“In the Blue Room, the official White House Christmas Tree, an 18-foot concolor fir from Sidney, Michigan, 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.”

250th Anniversary

“Patriotic exhibits featuring America’s signature red, white, and blue accentuate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Nation in the East Room, while two presidential portraits created from over 6,000 puzzle pieces are presented in the Green Room, offering families the chance to be challenged, have fun, and use their imagination together.”  

120 Pounds of Gingerbread

“The 2025 Gingerbread House is prominently displayed in the State Dining Room, highlighting the South Portico and offering a glimpse of the Yellow Oval Room—an artistic culinary triumph, boasting more than 120 pounds of gingerbread. The Grand Foyer features a section of the historic White House Crèche, which is currently undergoing meticulous restoration by the White House Curators.”

As Americans explore the historic rooms of the White House this holiday season, the statement emphasized that 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.”
