President Joe Biden presided over the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the White House, delivering a message of hope and unity to the nation. The event took place on the Ellipse outside the White House South Lawn, with Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, in attendance.
The 30-foot red spruce tree, sourced from Mount Rogers National Recreation Area in Virginia, was illuminated in a festive display. The tree was transferred to the White House on November 15, marking the beginning of the holiday season at the presidential residence.
