This Fall: The White House Historical Association to Offer Official Ornament of America 250 celebration, marking Anniversary of America's Independence
Special Edition Ornament is also the Official 2026 White House Christmas Ornament, revealed earlier than ever before!
WASHINGTON, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The White House Historical Association will offer the Official America 250 Ornament as part of a nationwide celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Official America 250 Ornament will represent the White House's connection to America's independence and will be revealed and available for presale this fall.
The Official America 250 Ornament will also serve as the Association's Official 2026 White House Christmas Ornament.
America 250 is the national, nonpartisan organization charged by Congress to lead this once-in-a-lifetime commemoration. Its mission is to create the largest, most inspiring, and unifying commemoration in the nation's history, providing an opportunity for all Americans to come together and reflect on our shared heritage and future as a nation.
This fall, the Official America 250 Ornament can be purchased alongside the Official 2025 White House Christmas Ornament which celebrates 150 years of White House State Dinners and social diplomacy.
The Official America 250 Ornament will be made in America, and proceeds will further the Association's mission to promote a deeper understanding of the Executive Mansion — not just as the home of each president, but as a cornerstone of the American story. The Association's acquisitions, preservation, research, and education efforts continue through generous private donations and the sale of its published books, products, and the Official White House Christmas Ornament.
