Trump Brings Back Christmas With New Website Celebrating Christmas
The Trump administration launched a new website boasting the URL “MerryChristmas.gov” to celebrate the federal government’s contributions that have helped weave the fabric of the nation.
“Over twelve days, we’re highlighting moments of design, innovation, and public work initiated by the federal government that helped shape the nation. Consider it a small holiday reminder of what America can build together,” the new Merry Christmas website states.
That message now greets visitors to a brand-new federal website: MerryChristmas.gov..
The Trump administration launched the site this past Sunday, and it represents far more than a government webpage. It’s a cultural marker. A line in the sand. Christmas is no longer something Washington pretends doesn’t exist.
President Trump made bringing back Christmas a recurring theme in his rallies. Not as policy minutiae—as a cultural statement.
“We’re going to have Merry Christmas just like we got for everybody seven years ago, we brought it back, it was in deep trouble but we brought it back,” Trump declared during an August 2024 event. The crowds roared. They understood exactly what he was talking about.
Fast forward to December 2025. The White House social media accounts have fully embraced Christmas messaging. The Department of Homeland Security—not exactly known for whimsy—has been posting images of federal agents in Santa hats with captions like “YOU’RE GOING HO HO HOME.” Even the official government meme game has gotten festive.
MerryChristmas.gov includes thoughtful touches that suggest genuine enthusiasm rather than checkbox compliance. A live weather tracker monitors conditions at both the North Pole and the White House. (Current North Pole forecast: cold.) Each day through December 25th, the site unveils a new piece of American heritage—starting with the iconic WPA poster program that lifted spirits during the Great Depression.
The message is simple but meaningful. The federal government helped build remarkable things throughout our history. And there’s nothing wrong with celebrating that—especially at Christmas.
For families gathering around the tree this year, the signal from Washington is unmistakable. Say Merry Christmas. Say it loudly. Say it to strangers at the grocery store and coworkers at the office party.
The joy of the season never really disappeared. But now it has official backup. And that feels like a gift worth unwrapping.
