A White House Christmas

Decorating the nation's capital for the holidays.

HGTV host Egypt Sherrod takes you on an extensive tour of the White House as decorated for the 2016 Christmas season. This year’s theme at the White House, "The Gift of the Holidays," reflects on the joy of giving and receiving as well as the true gifts of life — service, friends and family, education and good health — as we celebrate the season.

HGTV continues its yearly tradition, providing viewers with a room-by-room tour of the White House as decked out for the Christmas holidays. This year HGTV host Alison Victoria is there to provide you with the behind-the-scenes access.

Cameras follow designer Alison Victoria, White House staff and volunteers on an exclusive room-by-room tour of the iconic home's holiday transformation; this year's décor theme, American Treasures, honours the unique heritage of the United States.

In this year's edition of HGTV's annual 'White House Christmas' special, co-hosts Alison Victoria and Maureen McCormick provide an insider's tour of the decorations and holiday prep at America's first residence. Renovation expert and interior designer Alison Victoria provides an insider's look at how the volunteers and staff join forces to dress up the White House in holiday splendor. From the East Colonnade topiaries to "Cookieville" to the massive gingerbread displays, HGTV has an exclusive pass to this holiday extravaganza.

Jonathan Scott, Zooey Deschanel and a hundred volunteers have 72 hours to decorate the White House for Christmas 2022! Go behind the scenes of the operation, and once complete, First Lady Jill Biden shows off the holiday decor themed “We The People.”

Every year, hundreds of volunteers from across the nation decorate the White House for Christmas in just 72 hours. HGTV documents the process in the annual White House Christmas special — which is hosted by one or two hand-picked HGTV hosts who ensure the First Lady's chosen theme comes to life. Featured designers from years past include Jonathan Scott, Drew Scott, Genevieve Gorder, Zooey Deschanel, Alison Victoria and Egypt Sherrod.
