On November 27, for her very first holidays in the White House, First Lady Melania Trump unveiled this year's theme, 'Time Honored Traditions', which she created as a nod to two centuries of festive seasons in the historic home. “The President, Barron, and I are very excited for our first Christmas in the White House,” said First Lady Melania Trump. “As with many families across the country, holiday traditions are very important to us. I hope when visiting the People’s House this year, visitors will get a sense of being home for the holidays. On behalf of my husband and Barron, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and joyous holiday season.” Here the first lady, wearing Christian Dior, is seen standing in Grand Foyer of the White House, decorated with snow-covered trees.

The first lady was met with dancing ballerinas near the White House staircase as she entered the Grand Foyer. The frosted trees and garlands that bedeck the room are part of the White House decor which pays tribute to the first-ever themed White House Christmas, which was the Nutcracker Suite in 1961.

There was a sweet scene in the Red Room, where candy canes, cookies and lollipops are a big part of the decor. Visiting schoolchildren having fun with arts and crafts there created decorations and ornaments using gum drops. Photo: SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images
One of the most talked-about details of Melania's choice of decoration was the white forest created within the White House. The walkway is a stark winter wonderland from a fairytale, as opposed to the more traditional homespun decor in the rest of the White House. Photo: Getty Images
Melania got creative with visiting schoolchildren in the Green Room, where the decorations are a nod to crafts, paper and classic design. Centering the room is a Christmas tree adorned with gilded ornaments and ribbons. Photo: Getty Images
Garlands are a main centerpiece of the East Wing, the location of the Gold Star Family Tree in honor of those serving in the military and their loved ones. In that room, some of the more than 25,000 visitors expected in December can write a message to friends and family in the armed forces who are on duty or serving abroad this holiday season.
