Trump admin launches Christmas website to highlight 12 days of federal gifts

The Trump administration launched a new website Sunday that celebrates Christmas and highlights 12 ways the federal government has historically helped build the United States. 

The first post highlighted the Works Progress Administration's poster program, which was launched during the Great Depression, and was used to cultivate uplifting messages for America during a period of hardship for the nation.

The second post, which was uploaded Monday, highlights the Great Seal of the United States. The Great Seal was adopted by Congress in 1782 and features an eagle and shield.

"Used on passports, treaties, military insignia, and federal buildings, it remains one of America’s most enduring and influential design elements, anchoring the visual language of the federal government," the post reads.

The website will feature additional government highlights every day through Dec. 25, and includes a live weather tracker at the North Pole and at the White House. 

The website is also part of President Donald Trump's promise to return Christmas to the nation, after he accused Democrats last year of sidelining Christmas in order to be more inclusive of all holidays.

"We're going to have Merry Christmas just like we got for everybody seven years ago," Trump said in August 2024, per Fox News. "We brought it back, it was in deep trouble, but we brought it back."
