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.

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.

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.
