The White House released the official Christmas portrait for 2017, featuring President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump holding hands amid a beautiful, yet artificial, winter wonderland.

The photo was taken in the Cross Hall of the White House earlier this month. Trump has become notorious for railing against the so-called "war on Christmas" and has promised that under his administration, America will be saying "Merry Christmas" again.
