This Christmas, kids who are eager to get into the holiday spirit can deck the halls with boughs of holly… and code.

Google today launched a new Holiday Lights project, which lets kids animate the trees at the White House's President's Park location.

The new project is an extension of the Web giant's Made With Code initiative, which first launched over the summer to inspire kids — especially girls — to try coding, considering less than 1 percent of high school girls say they are interested in pursuing computer sciences in college.

To get started, head over to the Made With Code website, click the "Code the Holidays" button, and simply follow the on-screen instructions. Using the introductory programming language Blocky, you can easily change the color, pattern, and movement of the lights to create your own Christmas masterpiece.

When you're done programming, you can pick which of the 56 different state trees your design lights up, then submit it to Google. You can also download a GIF of your tree, and share your creation on social media to impress your friends.

The programmed lights will debut at the 92nd annual National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, which is scheduled for Dec. 4, but will air nationally on PBS throughout December.

"The tradition of the tree lighting ceremony dates back to 1923 when President Calvin Coolidge lit the first fir tree outside the White House," Google's Vice President of Engineering, Pavni Diwanji, wrote in a blog post Tuesday. "This is the first year kids from across the country will be in control of the state and territory holiday tree lights!"

The announcement comes one day after Google's Santa tracker went live.
