Some of you might be thinking about decorating your homes or bedrooms with festive wreaths, trees and twinkly lights.
But you will have to go a long way to compete with the level of festive cheer The White House is boasting this year.
As a US presidential tradition the partner of the president, often referred to as the first lady, oversees the decoration of one of the most famous buildings in the world.
Dr Jill Biden said the theme this year was the "Magic, Wonder, and Joy" of the holidays.
Members of the public are able to take a tour of the house, and people are invited to "embrace their inner child" when looking around.
"It is a time for our senses to awaken鈥攆or each of us to smell the aroma of favourite family recipes, to hear the warmth of a dear friend's voice, to see the glow of lights and decorations, to taste the sweetness of candies and treats, and to feel the quiet stillness and strength of faith", Dr Biden continued.
