The White House East Wing through the years: Famous moments in its history
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.
