Dr. Biden and Grandson Welcome the Official 2022 White House Christmas Tree

This photograph of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and her grandson, Beau Biden, Jr., welcoming the 2022 Official White House Christmas tree was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on November 21, 2022 on the North Drive of the White House. Dr. Biden welcomed the 18.5-foot Concolor Fir from Auburn, Pennsylvania presented by Paul and Pam Shealer, the 2022 National Christmas Tree Association's (NCTA) champion growers. The tree was cultivated at the Shealers' Evergreen Acres Tree Farm in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and delivered by a horse-drawn carriage. The tree was then carefully escorted to the Blue Room, where it remained on display for the holiday season. Since 1966, the Christmas tree displayed in the Blue Room has been presented to the White House following a contest run by the National Christmas Tree Association.
