WATCH: Melania Trump celebrates arrival of White House Christmas tree as band plays ‘O Tannenbaum’

First lady Melania Trump celebrated the arrival of the White House Christmas tree as two Clydesdale horses pulled the Fraser fir into the driveway.

“Today I welcomed the arrival of the beautiful @WhiteHouse Christmas Tree! We are excited to begin decorating the People’s House for the holiday season! #WHChristmas,” Trump tweeted on Monday, accompanied by photos of the tree.

“Merry Christmas,” the first lady, who sported a noticeably more blonde look while wearing a Balenciaga coat, black gloves, and high-heeled boots, told reporters during the event.

Two Clydesdales were seen pulling the tree on a carriage as a military band played “O Tannenbaum” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.”

The tree stands over 18 feet tall and comes from a farm in West Virginia.
