Decorating The White House For Christmas 2017 Hgtv

When the holiday season comes around, there is no more iconic setting to experience the joy of Christmas than the White House. For the 2017 season, the White House has been decorated with the spirit of the season in mind. From Christmas trees to lights and ornaments, the White House has been transformed into a winter wonderland for all to enjoy.

This year, HGTV got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the decorations and preparations for the White House Christmas 2017. From the planning stages to the final touches, the HGTV team documented every step of the process to give viewers a front row seat to the holiday magic. Here’s what we learned about what went into decorating the White House for Christmas 2017.

The first step in the White House Christmas decorating process was to select a theme. This year, the theme was “Time-Honored Traditions”, which pays tribute to 200 years of holiday celebrations at the White House. The decorations were intended to reflect both the history of the White House and the current administration, while also looking forward to the future.

The holiday décor was designed by First Lady Melania Trump and her team of designers. The decorations included 54 Christmas trees, 18,000 feet of holiday lights, and more than 12,000 ornaments. The centerpiece of the decorations was the official White House Christmas tree, which towers over the East Room and is adorned with ornaments featuring the official White House seal.

The White House decorations also included a few special touches from the First Family. The Melania Trump chose a snowflake wreath with a red ribbon to adorn the North Portico entrance and the official White House Christmas ornament for 2017 featured a picture of the White House on a snow globe. The Obamas’ official White House Christmas ornament was also placed on the tree, as a tribute to their time in office.

In addition to the traditional decorations, the White House decorations were also used to honor some of the important causes that the Trump administration is focused on. These included a Nativity Scene and a Hanukkah menorah in the East Room, which honored religious freedom and diversity. In the State Dining Room, the White House honored the military with a display of flags representing each branch of service.

The 2017 White House Christmas decorations were not only beautiful — they also had a message of hope and peace for the upcoming year. Through the decorations, the Trump administration wanted to remind everyone of the importance of family and togetherness during the holiday season.

From the planning stages to the final touches, it was clear that the White House decorations for Christmas 2017 were truly a labor of love. The decorations beautifully combine the history and traditions of the White House with the Trump administration's own unique style, creating a festive atmosphere that will be remembered for years to come.
