America’s First Home is famous for its holiday decor, and once again HGTV is going behind the scenes to show viewers what it takes to transform the White House into a festive fantasyland.

In ‘White House Christmas 2017’, staff and volunteers guide designer and home renovation guru Alison Victoria on an exclusive, VIP tour of the iconic home. During the one-hour special, Alison gets the inside scoop on the First Family’s chosen theme for the 2017 holiday season, ‘Time-Honoured Traditions’, samples tasty treats in the pastry kitchen, and even pitches in on the volunteer decorating effort! The epic Blue Room tree also makes a cameo appearance in the special, as does the still incomplete 350-lb White House Gingerbread House.

Witness the massive labour of love that goes into making every single room holiday ready with ‘White House Christmas 2017’, premiering Sunday, 10 December at 6 p.m. ET/PT.
