Summary

[edit]
Description

The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) selects the annual U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree in consultation with the United States Forest Service.

The 2019 Capitol Christmas Tree is lit during a light test in front of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday December 3, 2019, in preparation for its lighting ceremony on Wednesday night. The 60-foot Blue spruce was donated from Carson National Forest, New Mexico. This year's tree, sponsored by the New Mexico Congressional Delegation led by U.S. Senator Tom Udall, was chosen from the Carson National Forest.

The tree was lit by the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, on Wednesday, December 4, 2019, during a ceremony on the West Front Lawn.

The annual lighting of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is a time-honored tradition of more than 50 years. The tree will be lit from nightfall until 11 p.m. each evening through January 1, 2020.
