A t the heart of the White House, the official White House Christmas tree is proudly displayed in the Blue Room. Rising over eighteen feet high, this concolor fir traveled from Korson’s Tree Farms in Sidney, Michigan. Receiving the distinction of National Grand Champion Grower 2025 from the National Christmas Tree Association, the Korson family had the honor of presenting their tree to First Lady Melania Trump just before Thanksgiving.

No matter where a Gold Star family calls home, this tree stands as a reminder that their sacrifice touches every American heart, and that the strength, love, and resilience of their families enrich every community. The glimmering tree features ornaments depicting the official bird and flower from each state and territory. The birds represent freedom, hope, and courage, while the flowers symbolize the vigilance, bravery, and steadfast spirit of Gold Star families. Together, these decorations celebrate the shared values that unite our Nation. This historic room is a space to reflect on the strength of those who protect us, the love that binds us, and the unity that sustains our Nation. Every branch and ornament stands as a tribute to sacrifice, remembrance, and the enduring spirit that makes America home.
