Melania Trump, the former first lady, is launching a collection of limited-edition handcrafted Christmas ornaments, as well as corresponding animated Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), to commemorate the season she describes as “full with optimism” and “inspired by the American experience and spirit.”

The former first lady is unveiling “The Christmas Star” exclusively on MelaniaTrump.com, as well as her new “American Christmas Collection,” which includes six traditional American Christmas decorations and redeemable NFTs.

An NFT is perpetually and irreversibly minted on a blockchain. In this case, Trump employs “Solana,” a “eco-friendly proof-of-stake blockchain system.”

Owners of the Christmas NFTs can display and store the artwork as a collectible once acquired and redeemed, and if desired, resell directly on a secondary marketplace.
Mrs. Trump told Fox News Digital, “Christmas is a great time of year, spent with our families and loved ones.” “This holiday season will be one of optimism and inspiration.”


The former first lady went on to say she is “grateful” and appreciates “the brave individuals who keep us safe at home and abroad.”

Trump created the limited-edition “Christmas Star” ornament and NFT personally.

“My creative inspiration for the upcoming holiday season is hope, and naturally, the star embodies this spirit,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “My hope is for families across the world to use the Christmas Star ornament to inspire their loved ones with positive purpose, aspirations and values as we enter the new year.” This holiday season, remember to aim high to reach your full potential.”

The brass decorations and associated NFTs cost $35 to $45 and are fabricated in the United States. Mrs. Trump’s signature will be engraved on each.
A part of the revenues will be donated to “Fostering the Future,” a “Be Best” initiative that provides educational opportunities and scholarships to foster children.


The first two programme scholarship recipients started college this semester at Middle Tennessee State University and Oral Roberts University.

Beginning Sept. 15 and concluding Oct. 2, the “Christmas Star” will be available for pre-order. All ornaments ordered by Oct. 2 will be delivered before Christmas.

Last year, the former first lady launched her first NFT venture.

While NFTs are frequently marketed as a fun hobby, similar to collectibles, because their values fluctuate, many people view them as an investment. They, like cryptocurrency, are mostly unregulated, and many experts advise against investing in them.
