Gingerbread House Day

12 Dec 2025

What is Gingerbread House Day?

Every year on December 12, kitchens around the world quietly turn into architecture studios. Gingerbread House Day is a celebration of edible creativity: crunchy walls, icing snow, candy roofs, and a lot of laughing hands dusted with sugar.

The tradition grew from old European gingerbread fairs and became a modern classic of the holiday season: families, friends, couples and kids gather around one table to build their own sweet winter town.
