14 amazing gingerbread house ideas because it is officially that time of year
Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to gear up for the next fun-filled holiday: Christmas! Woohoo! And what better way to prepare for the holidays than by creating some really amazing gingerbread houses?
That’s right, it’s time to get your DIY on. While many of us decorate Christmas trees and send out holiday cards (all while listening to awesome seasonal music) we think a fun way to celebrate the holidays would be to make a gingerbread house. The kookier the gingerbread house, the better. We even have a delicious gingerbread recipe for you!
Below are fifteen of our favorite gingerbread houses so far
1. A literal gingerbread castle

We want to go to there… and live there… and then eat our home.
2. Why yes, that is a gingerbread carousel
Look at all those delicate touches!
3. Tasty Beach House
For those of us who can’t get to the beach this cold winter, we can at least eat one.
4. An edible winter wonderland
We love how creative these chef/architects are with their colors!
5. A gingerbread barn
