This photograph of the East Colonnade was taken by David Wiegold on November 28, 2022 during the press preview of the White House holiday decorations. President Joseph R. Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden selected "We the People" as the 2022 holiday theme. The decor was inspired Americans' shared values, unity, and community. Decorations in the East Colonnade recreated the wondrous feeling of the first snowfall. Decorative snow extended from the ceiling and winter trees, woodland animals, and illuminated lanterns lined the hallway.
