White House State Dinners Christmas Ornament

Be among the first to own this year's official White House Ornament, a refined tribute to the grandeur of presidential state dinners. Featuring the iconic red and gold china with the Presidential Seal at its center, this collectible honors a legacy of diplomacy, elegance, and national pride. Crafted with exceptional detail, it is an ideal addition to any distinguished collection.

For a century and a half, White House State Dinners have stood as a powerful expression of American diplomacy. These distinguished events bring global leaders together in an atmosphere of elegance and purpose, fostering tradition while advancing strategic relationships. The tradition began in 1874 when President Ulysses S. Grant hosted King David Kalākaua of Hawaii. Since that time, State Dinners have evolved into sophisticated affairs that strengthen alliances, build new partnerships, and highlight the finest in American hospitality.

Among all presidents, Ronald Reagan most clearly recognized the diplomatic potential of the State Dinner. He hosted more of them than any other, using the setting to spark meaningful dialogue with international leaders. These gatherings are far more than ceremonial; they are meticulously planned moments where fine china, gourmet cuisine, and precise protocol help support America’s global interests.

The 2025 ornament captures this tradition with exquisite craftsmanship. At its center is a detailed rendering of the red and gold state dinner plate, boldly displaying the Presidential Seal. Surrounding it is a sculpted wreath of snowflakes, holly, and oak leaves that represent seasonal beauty and enduring national strength. Above the plate rests an intricate depiction of the White House North Portico, flanked by evergreen trees reminiscent of holiday receptions. A silver-toned banner inscribed with The White House anchors the design in tradition.

Finished in 24-karat gold and rich enamel, the ornament measures approximately 3 inches wide and is suspended from a festive twisted red and gold hanging cord. It arrives in a keepsake box with an insert that tells the story of state dinners and their role in American diplomacy.

Celebrate the season with a collectible that reflects the dignity, tradition, and history of the American presidency.
