Outgoing first lady Jill Biden has unveiled her White House Christmas decorations for the final time, and this year’s display is being mocked by many on social media.
The theme for this year’s holiday is titled, “Season of Peace & Light.”
“As we celebrate our final holiday season here in the White House, we are guided by the values we hold sacred: faith, family, service to our country, kindness towards our neighbors, and the power of community and connection,” a statement in a White House press release reads.
The display was unveiled Monday morning in a media preview, and includes a tree covered in decorations resembling orange slices, an old-school carousel in the Blue Room with carnival music playing, and striped carnival-style curtains.
Reporter Cassie Semyon posted a video report on the decorations.

The Bidens’ final holiday hurrah just dropped, and while most of it’s straight from the Traditional Christmas Playbook™, their Blue Room centerpiece is raising eyebrows.

However, much of the wild display is being mocked as a circus, and described as “one final slap in the face.”
Conservative strategist Greg Price wrote, “Jill Biden’s Christmas decorations look like what would happen if a group of circus clowns projectile vomitted all over the White House, which I guess is the perfect metaphor to sum up the last four years.”

“Christmas under Jill vs Christmas under Melania. Who’s ready to have class back in the White House?” asked Libs of TikTok.

Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo mocked, “The White House just unveiled the new 2024 Christmas decorations. These drapes didn’t come from Williams-Sonoma, but from Barnum-Bailey!! I guess the decor is just making the regular jugglers and clowns feel at home. 🎪🤡.”

“Jill Biden has no class. Another very garish Christmas in the Biden White House. Christmas shouldn’t resemble a brothel for clowns,” wrote grassroots activist Scarlett Johnson.

Guillermo Farrell wrote, “The Biden family’s last stab at decorating the White House tree is less ‘Merry Christmas’ and more ‘What on earth is that?’ This tree isn’t just breaking the mold; it’s shattering it into a million pieces of what’s left of our holiday spirit. Is it a cry for attention, a desperate attempt at being memorable, or just a massive holiday faux pas? If the goal was to be the talk of the town, well, they’ve outdone themselves. But not in a good way. 🎄#WhiteHouseFiasco #BidenBlunder #HolidayHavoc #WhatIsThatTree.”

Journalist George Behizy wrote, “Jill Biden just presented her White House Christmas decorations, and it’s truly the ugliest thing ever. Melania Trump’s return as First Lady is just as big as Trump’s return. The White House is going to look beautiful & glamorous again.”

In another post, Jackson added, “This is literally so ugly. every time i look at the picture it gets worse. for instance, i just now realized these aren’t actual curtains… they are a bunch of pieces of paper curled sloppily at the bottom and tied together with ribbon (or other paper?). it’s a mess!!!”

Podcaster Benny Johnson asked, “Who taught Jill Biden how to decorate for Christmas?”
“Elect a clown, expect a circus. :-),” equipped Bill Mitchell.

Jill Biden’s attempt at holiday decor is a national embarrassment. Walking into the White House right now must feel like stumbling into a discount circus tent where the Crayola box is missing half the colors. This isn’t festive; it’s chaotic, tasteless, and downright laughable.…

Jill Biden has released photos of her circus-themed Christmas decorations.
Interesting how different her aesthetics are to @MELANIATRUMP.
Which do you prefer?
