The return of tours coincides with the holiday season, when visitors traditionally see the State Floor decorated for Christmas. This year’s décor will be curated by first lady Melania Trump, whose past holiday displays drew viral attention and criticism for their dramatic or unconventional designs.
“Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy the beloved annual tradition that transforms the White House into a festive reflection of the spirit, warmth, faith, and hope of the holiday season,” the first lady said in a press release.

Visitors can once again request a tour by contacting their member of Congress. Tour slots for December will open 30 days before each scheduled date, while availability for January 2026 is expected to be released to congressional offices sometime in December.
