#30: Benjamin Harrison – Fig Pudding

Christmas at the White House is a grand tradition, filled with dazzling decorations and an array of Christmas trees—but it all began with Benjamin Harrison. This festive-loving president was the first to introduce a Christmas tree to the White House, setting the stage for generations of holiday celebrations.

Harrison’s love for Christmas didn’t stop at decorations; he was also a big fan of fig pudding, a classic holiday treat. During the festive season—or whenever the craving struck—he ensured this rich, flavorful dessert was always on hand, cementing his legacy as one of the White House’s most Christmas-obsessed occupants.
