This photograph of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden welcoming the 2023 Official White House Christmas tree was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on November 20, 2023. The United States Marine Band accompanied Dr. Biden for the tree's arrival on the North Portico of the White House. The tree was delivered by horse-drawn carriage and carefully escorted to the Blue Room, where it remained on display for the holiday season. Dr. Biden welcomed the 18.5-foot Fraser Fir from Fleetwood, North Carolina, along with the children of military families who were given the opportunity to touch the horses and tree and pose with it. Since 1966, the Christmas tree displayed in the Blue Room has been presented to the White House following a contest run by the National Christmas Tree Association. The winners of this year's contest were Amber Scott and Alex Church of Cline Church Nursery.
