Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt to Host 'White House Christmas 2024' Premiering Sunday, Dec. 15, at 6 pm ET/PT on HGTV
HGTV will showcase America's most magnificent holiday transformation when it airs White House Christmas 2024 on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 6 p.m. ET/PT.
During the one-hour special, First Lady Jill Biden will tour the historic home with hosts Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home) and share how this year's White House holiday theme - "A Season of Peace and Light" - is reflected in each room and design element, encouraging guests to embrace the peace and light of the holiday season. More than 300 dedicated volunteers from across the country will bring the theme to life with an astonishing array of decorations, including more than 165,075 holiday lights, 83 Christmas trees, 28,125 ornaments, 9,810 feet of ribbon and 2,200 doves.
White House Christmas 2024 will spotlight the festive holiday displays in each iconic space of the People's House, from the Gold Star Tree exhibit that honors fallen service members and a stunning collection of bells adorning the East Colonnade to a cascade of peace doves suspended overhead in the Cross Hall and the majestic 18.5-foot-tall official White House Christmas Tree in the Blue Room. As Brian and Mika go from room to room, the couple will get a first look at the 2024 Gingerbread White House, created from an astounding 25 sheets of gingerbread dough, 50 pounds of royal icing and 45 pounds of chocolate, and they'll help decorate the Diplomatic Room, now open to the public for the first time.
"It has been a decades-long HGTV tradition to bring our viewers inside the spectacular Yuletide transformation of the White House each year," said Betsy Ayala, Interim Head of Content, HGTV. "We can't wait to pull the curtain back on all the hard work and holiday magic that went into this year's delightful decorations celebrating a season of peace and light."
