The White House will reopen its doors for public tours on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, featuring holiday decorations curated by First Lady Melania Trump.
The announcement marks the return of a cherished tradition after the presidential transition, offering Americans access to the People’s House during the festive season.
Congressional offices can begin submitting tour requests for constituents on November 3. December tour slots will open 30 days before each date.
The updated tour route will showcase the State Floor adorned with Christmas decorations. Each room’s holiday display will reflect themes of “spirit, warmth, faith, and hope,” according to the Office of the First Lady.
January 2026 tour availabilities are expected to open sometime in December. The White House encourages interested visitors to contact their Member of Congress for tour requests.
Public access to the executive mansion remains a longstanding American tradition. The holiday tours offer a unique glimpse into how the first family celebrates the season.
