It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the White House! President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the 94th annual National Christmas Tree Lighting on the Ellipse at the White House on Thursday evening, where they lit the tree for their final time as the first family.

The Obamas, along with their younger daughter, Sasha, 15, took the stage following a musical performance by Kelly Clarkson and introduction by host Eva Longoria. The president spoke briefly to the crowd gathered on the Ellipse, saying, “To everybody who’s here tonight and everybody watching at home, it is now officially the time to light this tree!”
