The Reagan Foundation is pleased to announce that Christmas Around the World is coming back to the Reagan Library. Christmas Around the World includes 26 exquisitely decorated trees representing the 26 countries that President Reagan visited while in office, as well as a White House Tree. Decorations encompass the bright and festive colors of the Caribbean, the crystals of the Nordic countries and the traditional decorations of England and Europe. Of particular note is the Vatican tree decorated entirely with white ornaments featuring a life-size white peacock that adorns the tree’s branches. The featured tree is an elegant reproduction of President and Mrs. Reagan’s White House tree complete with “Reagan Red” decorations and dozens of hand-blown glass ornaments.

For the first time, this exhibition will feature the original fireplace mantle from President and Mrs. Reagan’s Bel Air home—their final residence together.

In addition, the exhibition will feature a “Gold Star Family Memorial Tree.” Gold Star families are encouraged to come to the Library to add their loved one’s name to the tree. There is no cost to add to the tree. Families can bring their own ornament from home and place it on the tree, or they can use our gold star ornament to attach a personal photo to and add their loved one’s name.

Christmas Around the World Exhibit is included in the price of admission and not a separate ticket.
