In her 2025 Christmas theme, First Lady Melania Trump presents ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’ at the White House, highlighting the emotional ties that define American homes. The theme draws on Melania’s experiences in motherhood and business, emphasizing that true homes are filled with love and comfort regardless of their physical space. This year’s decorations include the ‘Fostering the Future Red Room,’ which is dedicated to the foster-care community, and an 18-foot Christmas tree in the Blue Room honoring Gold Star families. Additionally, the display features traditional holiday decorations that reflect America’s heritage as it approaches its 250th anniversary.

Renowned designer Hervé Pierre was selected to help realize this creative vision, including the Red Room, which features blue butterflies symbolizing transformation. The holiday decor also contains classic elements such as signature wreaths with red bows, over 50 Christmas trees, and an abundance of garland and ribbon that contribute to the festive atmosphere. A unique gingerbread house, made from 120 pounds of gingerbread, serves as a culinary highlight in the State Dining Room, complementing the historic White House Crèche that is being restored nearby.

As visitors explore the White House during the holiday season, the decorations act as reminders of the strength found in shared values and traditions. The displays aim to capture the essence of Christmas and the significance of familial love while also honoring the sacrifices made by military families. This year’s theme brings people together in the spirit of the holidays, fostering a sense of community and connection across the nation.
