Happy Holidays from the White House: See 92 years of presidents’ Christmas cards, from Trump to JFK to Coolidge

• The first family sends staff and supporters a holiday card every year.
• The White House’s annual tradition dates back to 1927.
• President Donald Trump’s three cards are very similar, all wishing people a “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” with a simple background.

While it may be less common these days to send a holiday greeting via snail mail these days, the White House hasn’t let go of its 92-year tradition.

Starting with Calvin Coolidge in 1927, each sitting US president has wished their staff and supporters a happy holiday. Each card is unique, and recipients change from year to year.

The official card President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are sending this year features the American flag and wishes people “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” It’s on display with the Trump’s previous two cards, and all eight cards from the Obamas, in the Bookseller’s Room of the White House.

With the help of the White House Historical Association, we’ve pulled together 67 White House holiday cards from the past century. Happy holidays!
