This photograph of the East Garden Room 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. In the East Garden Room, a confectionery cart, towers of sweets, and oversized macarons were on display, seen here, as well as lifelike models of the Biden family's cat, Willow, and dog, Commander and a collection of past White House holiday cards.
