November 16, 2023

On Monday, November 20th, at 3:00 PM ET, First Lady Jill Biden will receive the official 2023 White House Christmas Tree at the White House. The First Lady will welcome the tree alongside military-connected families. This event will be covered by an expanded pool. For interested media, RSVP HERE by Friday, November 17th, 2023 at 6:00 PM ET.

The centerpiece of this holiday season is an 18 ½ foot Fraser Fir from Fleetwood, North Carolina, which will stand floor to ceiling, filling the Blue Room of the White House. Every year, the room's chandelier is removed to accommodate the tree's full height. This year's tree will be presented to the First Lady by siblings Amber Scott and Alex Church, of Cline Church Nursery, the 2023 Grand Champion Grower in the National Christmas Tree Association's annual contest.
