And guests can also pick up holiday recipe cards featuring the Malloy’s’ favorite holiday dessert. (What is it? Hmmm.)

- The Connecticut Florists Association
- The Connecticut Greenhouse Growers Association
- The Connecticut Nursery and Landscape Association
- The Connecticut Christmas Tree Growers Association
“The Governor’s Residence truly belongs to the public, and this is a great opportunity for Connecticut families to stop by and see the house decked out in festive holiday decorations, all of which were generously donated by several local organizations,” Malloy said in a press release issued this morning. “Cathy and I look forward to continuing this annual holiday tradition.”
Visitors are encouraged, but not required, to bring new, unwrapped toys for the U.S. Marines Corps Toys for Tots program.
