Christmas Walking Tour in Washington, DC

A Nation's Capital Christmas

Although politics and the Redskins may be Washington’s most well-known traditions, when it comes to Christmas, the nation’s capital offers a festive array of annual events. Come along on this holiday walking tour and hear how the Obamas plan to decorate for Christmas at the White House, which hotel lobby always displays the swankiest décor, and where to buy the official White House holiday ornament. Discover the beautiful Renwick Gallery of American Arts and Crafts and the historic "Church of the Presidents." The walk concludes at the newly-planted National Christmas tree, where you can see over 50 individually-decorated trees dedicated to each U.S. state and territory or warm yourself by the blazing Yule log.
