“Welcome to the White House,” one of the twins exclaims at the start of the clip, as scenes of trees, lights and other holiday decor flash onscreen.
As Drew practices perfecting his best ballerina moves, he then asks Jonathan to identify some of the reindeer props they are passing, to which he hilariously quips, “That’s Drew, that’s Jonathan. We’ve updated things.”
Then, as one of the twins notes they only have “72 hours to transform the White House,” various volunteers are seen hard at work, putting together displays, hanging lights and putting the magic in Christmas.

Drew jokingly asks Jonathan if they’re sure they don’t need 3,000 volunteers instead of the 300 they have, to which he responds, “We might, actually, because we’re a little bit behind.”
Jonathan then announces that the theme for this year’s White House holiday display is “magic, wonder and joy,” and notes that the goal of the decor is to “transport people back to that feeling of Christmas morning.”
“The scale of everything is huge, so even as grownups, it looks like Christmas morning,” he continues, as Drew adds, “It’s like that whimsy and that fun [feeling] from when we were children during the holidays. I can feel it already.”
Jonathan also notes that the decorating team wants to “make sure that every room has a little something different” to make them each stand out.

“White House Christmas 2023will feature every aspect of the festive holiday displays, including the Gold Star Tree honoring fallen service members; the ground floor corridor filled with letters to Santa ready to be mailed to the North Pole; and the majestic official White House Christmas Tree in the Blue Room,” according to an official synopsis.
