Hand-crafted candy part of White House holiday décor

Thanks in part to the efforts of more than 300 volunteers, the White House is decorated for the holidays, and candy played a key role.

The National Confectioners Association collaborated with the White House staff to create candy-inspired décor for several spaces. The White House Christmas Tree in the Blue Room incorporates a light-filled carousel and three-dimensional holiday candy treats. NCA also provided hand-crafted candy ornaments and themed decorations in the State Dining Room and Library.

NCA and its member companies provided chocolate and candy used to fill candy jars, decorate trees, and add a touch of sweetness throughout the space. Additionally, NCA supplied custom chocolates that thousands of White House visitors will receive during the holiday season. View a photo gallery. 

“NCA is proud to be part of this sweet collaboration with The White House, bringing to life the magic of chocolate and candy and the joyous spirit of the winter holidays. In addition to supporting candy-inspired décor in several spaces throughout The White House, our member companies also provided real treats to deck the halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and send visitors home with a bite of the wonder. From your house to The White House, chocolate and candy are always a treat.”
