Washington, D.C. — Former First Lady Melania Trump returned to the White House today to take part in a cherished holiday tradition: the arrival of the Official White House Christmas Tree. The tree, a towering Fraser fir grown on a family farm in North Carolina, was delivered by horse-drawn carriage to the North Portico, where Trump greeted it with a warm smile.
Dressed elegantly in a winter coat, Melania Trump thanked the growers and expressed her appreciation for the holiday tradition. “The Christmas Tree has always been a symbol of unity, hope, and the beauty of the season,” she said. “It’s an honor to welcome such a magnificent tree to the White House.”
White House staff will now begin the meticulous process of decorating the tree, which will stand proudly in the Blue Room throughout the holiday season. This year’s theme, still under wraps, is expected to highlight the spirit of American craftsmanship and family traditions.
The Christmas Tree arrival marks the official beginning of the holiday celebrations at the White House, a tradition that dates back to 1966.
