Details of 2023 Red Room Holiday Decorations, Biden Administration

This close-up photograph of a garland draped over the Red Room mantel was taken by David Wiegold on November 27, 2023 during a press preview of the White House holiday decorations. President Joseph R. Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden selected "Magic, Wonder, and Joy" as the 2023 holiday theme. The decor was inspired by children and how they embrace and revel in the holiday season. The 2023 Red Room décor looked to the joy, creativity, and collaboration involved in making holiday crafts, including ornaments made by children with military connections through Dr. Biden’s Joining Forces initiative.
