The family then attended the island's annual tree lighting ceremony, which has been happening since 1974.

Biden did not travel to Nantucket last Thanksgiving after winning the election due to the pandemic.

The president will be in Woodstock, New Hampshire on Tuesday to promote his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
