Halloween took on a magical twist this year at the White House as President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump opened the South Lawn for a lively evening of celebration. The grand home of America’s first family turned into a cheerful Halloween wonderland, filled with laughter, candy, and hundreds of excited children dressed in their favourite costumes.

The President and First Lady made a grand entrance to an orchestral version of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The spooky tune set the perfect Halloween mood, and everyone on the lawn clapped and cheered. While the guests came in every costume imaginable, from superheroes and dinosaurs to fairies and pumpkins, the Trumps kept it classic. President Trump wore a dark blue suit, his signature red tie, and a red “USA” cap. Melania looked elegant in an autumn-themed outfit.
Children lined up eagerly, holding out their treat bags and smiling as they approached the First Couple. The President and First Lady distributed full-sized Hershey bars and Twizzlers, each exquisitely packaged in boxes bearing the presidential seal, according to NDTV reports. This small but special touch made every child feel like they were a part of something truly unforgettable.

A Night Of Candy, Costumes, And Cheer
Children from military families and White House employees added to the festivities. Among them was White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who brought her little boy dressed as an adorable pumpkin, NDTV reported. Former aide Katie Miller came dressed as a skeleton, while her husband, Stephen Miller, kept things simple in a suit.
The kids, of course, were the stars of the night. There were tiny Spider-Men swinging their imaginary webs, fearless Captain Americas, graceful ballerinas, sparkling princesses, and even a few leprechauns running across the lawn. According to NDTV reports, two boys stood out in particular; they were dressed just like President Trump, wearing suits, red hats, and confident smiles. A young girl joined them in a chic white coat, much like one of Melania’s signature looks. Even some parents wore “USA” caps.
Between the music, the candy, and the playful energy of hundreds of children, it was clear that Halloween at the White House reflected the true spirit of the season.
