Banksy posted an image of the mural on Instagram on Monday, the artist's usual system for authenticating works.
It received close to one million likes within a day.
The artwork depicts two children lying on their backs in coats, hats and boots.
One child has their hands in their pockets, the other points a finger skywards.
It looks just like another mural that recently appeared in a different central London location, though Banksy has not yet acknowledged its authorship.
The image presents a cosy, wintry scene in time for the holidays.
But Artworld publications like Art News are also interpreting the image as a statement on the UK's escalating child homelessness crisis.
According to a report published earlier this year by the British government, more than 160,000 homeless children are currently living in temporary accommodation, the highest number on record.
Joyce Beatty's federal lawsuit argues that rechristening the Kennedy Center requires an act of Congress.
One of Beatty's counsels, Norm Eisen, says the former name was established through legislation in 1964.
New signage bearing Trump's name appeared on the centre's website and facade late last week.
In a written statement to NPR, the centre's Vice President of Public Relations, Roma Daravi, blamed critics like Congresswoman Beatty for having, quote, sat idly by while America's cultural centre slowly crumbled, and justified the change of name by pointing to the millions of dollars she says Trump has raised to repair the building.
The San Francisco Bay Area-based Johnny Donuts sometimes sells out of its Christmassy offerings by lunchtime, including the bourbon cream-filled and peppermint candy-topped varieties.
Johnny's founder, Craig Blum, says jelly-filled Hanukkah donuts, or sufganiyot, are his biggest holiday seller.
Food historian Michael Crandall has written a book about doughnuts.
He says other traditions have also long celebrated holidays with fried dough, though not always at this time of year.
Crandall says the holidays provide a great excuse for the doughnut world to get creative with unusual flavours and designs.
