First Lady Melania Trump has returned to public engagements for the holiday season after maintaining a low profile for much of President Donald Trump’s first year back in office.
Eko Hot News reports that Trump reappeared at several ceremonial events, including the White House Christmas tree lighting on December 4 in Washington, D.C., marking one of her most visible public outings in recent months.
The first lady also visited Camp Lejeune on November 19, where she met with military families and American troops. On November 24, she formally received the White House Christmas tree as part of the annual holiday traditions.
On November 25, the first lady joined President Trump for the ceremonial pardoning of two turkeys, Gobble and Waddle, further signalling her return to the spotlight during the festive season.
Trump also announced the launch of her new production company, Muse Films, releasing a short logo unveiling video online. The company’s first project, a documentary titled “Melania,” will debut in U.S. theatres on January 30 before streaming on Prime Video.
The White House unveiled this year’s Christmas décor theme, “Home Is Where The Heart Is,” on December 1. Melania participated in assembling care packages for deployed service members alongside actress Cheryl Hines and Second Lady Usha Vance.
During the National Christmas Tree Lighting on December 4, the first lady appeared in high spirits, wearing a white wool coat over a blue buttoned dress as she stood beside the president.
Earlier in the week, President Trump revealed that ongoing construction at the East Wing, part of his plan to add a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, has caused discomfort at home. He noted that Melania is “not thrilled” about the constant noise from late-night piledrivers.
As the holiday season unfolds, Melania Trump’s increasing public presence suggests she may remain more visible in the weeks ahead.
