The ornaments include images of buildings, wildlife, plants and some of the many outdoor activities that visitors can enjoy at state parks across Texas.

Anyone visiting the Texas State Capitol during the month of December can see the Capitol Christmas Trees — delivered by Eisenhower State Park staff — as well as the 2023 Texas State Park ornament. Texas State Parks has provided Christmas trees to the Texas State Capitol for more than 40 years.

Two 12-foot trees and one 7-foot tree will be delivered to the House of Representatives Nov. 27, while a 12-foot tree will also be delivered to the Texas Senate Reception Room that same day. In addition, a 23-foot tree will be transported to the Senate Chamber Dec. 4. The trees are all Virginia Pines grown and harvested from a tree farm near Eisenhower State Park. Texas State Park Police will escort the tree to the Capitol when it enters Austin.
