U.S declares return of ‘Merry Christmas’

News Update

U.S President Trump has declared the return of “Merry Christmas,” an open invitation for Americans to be bold and unafraid to share their Christian faith this Christmas season.

“We’re saying MERRY CHRISTMAS again!” the White House posted on X on December 1st, 2025, alongside a picture of the smiling president beside a fully decorated Christmas tree in the Oval Office, Voice Air Media reports.

During his first campaign for president, then-candidate Trump would regularly assure crowds that “We’re going to be saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again.”

.
“You go into a department store. When was the last time you saw ‘Merry Christmas?’ You don’t see it anymore,” Trump contended during a speech at Liberty University in January 2016. “They want to be politically correct. If I’m president, you will see ‘Merry Christmas’ in department stores, believe me, believe me.”

The president, known for speaking in generalities and hyperboles, certainly recognized a very real cultural phenomenon.

This Online newspaper gathers that Christians should be intentional in looking for opportunities – especially during Christmastime – to share our faith with others. Scripture urges us to “always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15, ESV).

This year, a secular “chilling effect” certainly hasn’t stopped the White House from going all-out in their Christmas decorations, perhaps as a part of the president’s desire to strengthen the Christmas season.

On Dec. 1, first lady Melania Trump unveiled the White House’s Christmas decorations.

The first lady personally selected the White House’s 2025 Christmas theme, “Home Is Where The Heart Is,” and appointed renowned designer Hervé Pierre to oversee the implementation of her creative vision. The theme is meant to illuminate the “heartfelt character of America within the People’s House.”
