2023 Blue Room Holiday Decorations, Biden Administration

This photograph of the Blue Room Christmas Tree was taken by David Wiegold on November 27, 2023 during a press preview of the White House holiday decorations. President Joseph R. Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden selected "Magic, Wonder, and Joy" as the 2023 holiday theme. The decor was inspired by children and how they embrace and revel in the holiday season. The tree was an 18½ foot Fraser Fir from Fleetwood, North Carolina with decorations spanning across the country with merry landscapes, neighborhoods, and the names of every state, territory, and the District of Columbia represented. A replica of a vintage passenger train circled the base of the tree. The train set was loaned by the Train Collectors Association. Siblings Amber Scott and Alex Church of Cline Church Nursery presented the tree to Dr. Biden on November 20, 2023.
