It’s never too early to get into the holiday spirit, with the First Lady unveiling her 2025 collection of Christmas ornaments ahead of the festive season.

Melania Trump, 55, launched the ‘Celebrating America’ ornament line to her website on Thursday, consisting of ‘limited-edition, handcrafted Christmas ornaments.’

The decorations, which range between $75 to $90, are ‘designed to celebrate America and the upcoming 250th anniversary.’

The items in the collection include decorations featuring the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore as well as a star, an American flag and a star-spangled USA.

Melania‘s signature is engraved onto each of the items and purchases include a ‘special 3D animated digital collectible.’

While many people thought the festive decorations were beautiful – and gushed about adorning their trees with them – some slammed the First Lady for the exorbitant cost and urged her to release an affordable range.

‘I love Melania but these prices are out of range for the majority of workers… groceries are so high! Maybe put out a cheaper group for us! We are patriotic too!’ wrote one fan.

‘$75 to $90 dollars… We can’t afford buy groceries and you want us to buy that?’ questioned another.

‘These are great but out of most American’s price range. Too bad,’ complained someone else.

Another person agreed, writing: ‘Too expensive for us normies!’

‘Oh look who’s grifting again,’ accused another.

‘Wow. If I had $75 + to spend on a Christmas ornament… Where’s the real people’s collection? FFS,’ slammed someone else.

In a statement shared by Melania with The Hill, she said: ‘I am excited to continue this annual holiday tradition with the Celebrating America collection of ornaments.

‘This year, I sought inspiration in our Nation’s upcoming 250th birthday, and all of the holiday blessings that we enjoy as Americans.’

Melania – who bashed the festive season when last in the White House – was ridiculed last year after she unveiled her 2024 ornament collection, ‘Merry Christmas, AMERICA!’

The First Lady was again slammed for the pricey decorations, many complaining the average American couldn’t afford them.

In 2018, Melania was recorded expressing her frustration about getting the White House into the festive spirit, saying, ‘You know, who gives a f**k about Christmas stuff and decoration?’

When Donald Trump was previously in office, Melania decorated the White House with Balsam fir trees that dripped with icicles, which social media users dubbed eerie and cold.

Similarly, she decorated the East Colonnade with 40 bold blood-red trees and draped 14,000 red ornaments throughout the White House.

Although her office stated that the red symbolized ‘valor and bravery,’ the décor quickly earned the nickname ‘murder trees,’ leading to a wave of memes, public backlash, and accusations of being ‘un-American.’
