The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, adorned in 5,000 LED lights and 10,000 hand-made ornaments, lit up the skies in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night during a ceremony to ring-in the 2024 holiday season.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) led the 60th annual Christmas tree lighting at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday night.

The holiday season kicked off on Capitol Hill this week with the official Christmas tree lighting ceremony and the unveiling of a gingerbread replica of the U.S. Capitol — complete with sugar flowers representing all 50 states.
