Melania Trump officially unveiled the White House Christmas decorations Sunday night in a festive video which showed the first lady adding the final touches to the patriotic display, dubbed 'The Spirit of America'.

In a nearly one-minute-long video posted to Twitter, Melania, wearing a cream coat, matching dress and stiletto heels, enjoys the work of volunteers, who helped to decorate the residence.

The first family arrived home to the White House Sunday after spending Thanksgiving in Florida and Melania, who designs the holiday decorations, appeared to be in the same outfit she had earlier teamed with tan knee high boots.

Posting footage from the stunning decor online, the first lady wrote: '"The Spirit of America" is shining in the @WhiteHouse! I am delighted to share this beautiful exhibit of patriotism for all to see, and excited for everyone to experience the beauty of the #Christmas season!'

This year's display comes complete with fake snow, Stars and Stripes ornaments and an enormous advent calendar.

In a nod to Melania's 'Be Best' campaign, a scrabble themed ornament spells out the first lady's signature initiative. Other decorations appear to continue the children's game concept, with domino pieces and playing cards hanging from a tree.

Melania had welcomed the official White House Christmas Tree last Monday. Dressed in high-heeled black boots and a floral Dolce and Gabbana coat, the first lady was on hand as it arrived on a horse-drawn carriage while a military band played Christmas music in the background.

Its arrival kicked off the holiday season at the White House as it serves as the centerpiece of each year's unique Christmas theme. This year's tree is more than five meters tall and 16 years old. It is displayed in the Blue Room.

The official White House Christmas Tree is selected in an annual contest by the National Christmas Tree Association; this year's winning tree was presented by Larry Snyder of Mahantongo Valley Farms.

The first lady came down the front stairs of the White House to examine the tree, which was pulled up to the front door on a horse-drawn wagon. She walked around the wagon to look at it and then wished bystanders a 'Merry Christmas everyone.'

The tree is the center piece of the White House decorations.

Melania tweeted pictures of the tree arriving, writing: 'The @WhiteHouse #ChristmasTree2019 has been delivered, and we look forward to appreciating the peace and joy it signifies all throughout the holiday season! Thank you to Snyder Family who brought us this tree, all the way from Pitman, PA.'

She added a video, writing: 'Special delivery! The @WhiteHouse is excited to welcome its #ChristmasTree for 2019. This beautiful tree was grown by the Snyder family from Mahantongo Valley Farms in Pitman, PA. We are excited to display this tree in the Blue Room of the People's House!'

As per other years Melania skipped the traditional press preview of the decorations, and instead tweeted a nearly one-minute-long video of herself walking through the rooms, including this one

Red, blue and white plays heavily in the patriotic display. Twitter users last year poked fun at the red trees on display comparing them to the red robes in The Handmaid's Tale

'The President and First Lady host dozens of events over the holiday season to include the delivery of the Christmas tree, Thanksgiving turkey pardon, special holiday tours for the public, and many holiday parties for military families, children, friends, White House staff, and the United States Secret Service,' White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said

There will be dozens of holiday receptions - for White House staff, members of the military, lawmakers and others - over the next month.

'The President and First Lady host dozens of events over the holiday season to include the delivery of the Christmas tree, Thanksgiving turkey pardon, special holiday tours for the public, and many holiday parties for military families, children, friends, White House staff, and the United States Secret Service,' White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told DailyMail.com earlier this week.

Speaking before the big reveal Grisham said: 'I can tell you that as always, Mrs. Trump put the guest experience first and applied that to every detail of planning. It is her intention that people get a sense of warmth, family, nostalgia, and the important meaning of Christmas as they walk the halls of the people's house.'

The 2019 White House Advent Calendar also launched Sunday. Day one shows a picture of Melania decorating a tree last year and reads: 'In 2018, President Trump and the First Family celebrated their second Christmas in the White House. That year's theme, "American Treasures", was chosen by First Lady Melania Trump to honor the unique heritage of our Nation.'

It went on: 'Throughout that Christmas season, the White House shined with the spirit of patriotism, showcasing many splendors found across the United States. In the Grand Foyer and Cross Hall, more than 14,000 red ornaments adorned 29 trees as a symbol of valor and bravery.'

On Saturday the first lady tweeted to thank the volunteers 'hard at work' at the White House while she enjoyed Thanksgiving

The first family arrived back into D.C. Sunday night after spending Thanksgiving break in Mar-a-Lago. Trump took a trip to surprise troops in Afghanistan.

The president waved and gave supporters his signature thumbs up as he made his way back to Washington D.C. with First Lady Melania and 13-year-old son Barron.

It was Trump's first Thanksgiving holiday weekend in Florida after changing his residence from New York. He enjoyed a belated dinner at Mar-a-Lago with his wife and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, and their partners and children after spending the actual holiday with troops.

Wearing his trademark red MAGA cap, a white sleeve shirt and jacket, Trump boarded Air Force One alongside Melania, wearing a cream jacket and matching dress, on Sunday. She teamed her look with tan, knee high boots.

Teenager Barron, wearing a white t-shirt, towered over his 6 feet, 3 inches tall father and made the peace sign to the waiting cameras.

One guest at Mar-a-Lago told DailyMail.com that the President appeared in high spirits at the belated family dinner Friday. 'It was a full house [at Mar-a-Lago] and everyone was happy to see President Trump after his trip,' the diner explained.

'People kept coming up to his table to say hello and wish him and his family a Happy Thanksgiving', they added.

The guest added that Trump 'looked great after doing all that travel and Melania, Kimberly and Lara looked stunning.'

'They all seemed to be in great spirits and enjoying their time together as a family.'

Social media users mercilessly mocked the first lady's 'scary' decor in 2018, claiming the 'blood red' trees were reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale and The Shining.

Melania's White House holiday decorations faced similar scrutiny in 2017, as many felt the eerie, twig-lined hallway she designed was downright haunting and better fit for a scene in a horror film.

Thousands of tourists are expected to stream through the building in December.

Christmas planning starts several months out.

In late July, Trump tweeted photos of herself in the Map Room looking over a table covered with fabric swatches, floral samples and Christmas photos.

'#Christmas planning has begun in the East Wing at the @WhiteHouse,' she wrote, referencing the wing of the White House where her office and staff are based. 'I'm looking forward to sharing our final vision for this unique tradition in the coming months.'
