Melania Trump Teases Gold-Toned White House Christmas Preparations

A brief video on her official X account marks her first public step toward this year's displays in her return to the residence.

Overview

  • On Oct. 8–9, the First Lady’s official X account posted a five-second clip of Melania Trump arranging gold ornaments and foliage with the caption, “Christmas meeting in the @WhiteHouse.”
  • The White House has not announced an official 2025 holiday theme or an unveiling date, according to the coverage.
  • This will be her first holiday season back at the White House since President Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election.
  • In August, the White House sought volunteer performers and decorators for December open houses, with participants responsible for their own travel and expenses.
  • Reports note renewed attention to her past holiday record, including the widely criticized 2018 red conical trees the White House defended for their symbolism and a 2018 audio recording released in 2020 of her venting about Christmas duties.
