First Lady Jill Biden is going viral after a group of children wished her a “Happy Christmas” after she told them “Happy Holidays” during a White House toy drive on Friday.
In a clip circulating on social media, Biden can be seen waving and greeting children at the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots event while standing next to Lt. Gen. Leonard Anderson IV.
“Hi, Happy Holidays,” Biden said in the video. “Happy Christmas,” a child can be heard shouting back in the background. “Happy Christmas, yes,” Biden said in response as other children chime in.
The moment has gained traction on X, where a number of Trump supporters have used it to allege that the children were shutting down the First Lady’s politically correct holiday greeting.
HOLY SH*T 🚨 Jill Biden says “Happy Holidays” and a child immediately corrects her and says:

Being able to say “Merry Christmas” has become a talking point on the right in recent years, with President-elect Donald Trump frequently giving his two cents on the matter.
“And we will proudly say ‘Merry Christmas’ again,” Trump said back in October during a campaign speech in North Carolina.
Holiday remarks aside, during the toy event, First Lady Jill took time to speak directly to the children of service members in attendance.
“If you only remember one thing for the holidays, after all the wrapping paper is cleaned up, let it be this: You are loved. There are so many people who care about you, from your family and your friends, from your teachers and your classmates, to the president and me,” she said, according to ABC News.
