The elaborate decorations include 53 Christmas trees, 71 Christmas wreaths, over 12,000 ornaments and a 200-pound gingerbread reproduction of the White House. Even the Grand Foyer and Cross Hall were decorated with multiple Christmas trees, all covered in crystal ornaments and artificial snow.

While the red room consisted of a smaller Christmas tree than at the other places. Its decorations are made with holiday candies and treats. According to press release, “There, the first lady sat with children from Joint Base Andrews to make holiday decorations out of gumdrops” The official release from White House also states, "Throughout the month of December, the White House will host more than 100 open houses and many receptions. More than 25,000 visitors will walk the halls taking part in public tours."

Though social media has made a mockery of the show by melania Trump. The image of the hallway decorations is pretty eerie and spooky to which twitteratti responded, it is better suited to Halloween than Christmas.
