The Official White House Christmas Ornaments
Issued annually by
the White House Historical Association, Official White House Christmas Ornaments are hung on millions of Christmas trees each December. But the ornament program did not begin as a series.

Today the ornaments are a popular collector’s item and a long-standing and beloved tradition. Browse the entire collection today!
