Gingerbread Throwdown 2026!
Think you have what it takes to build the sweetest house of the season?
Join us for our Annual Gingerbread Throwdown, a fun and festive holiday competition where adults and kids alike will battle it out for gingerbread glory!
Everyone starts with a premade gingerbread house—then it’s up to you to turn it into a holiday masterpiece. Traditional, elegant, hilarious, completely over-the-top…anything goes!
What to Bring
Bring any decorations, candy, icing, or other edible embellishments you see fit to help you WIN—along with plenty of creativity and a competitive spirit!
We’ll provide the gingerbread houses. You provide the imagination.
Bragging rights and prizes are on the line!
This competition is for everyone—adults and kids—so come ready to decorate, compete, laugh, and have a great time.
Charcuterie and other food will be provided, so come hungry and ready to enjoy some holiday treats while you create your masterpiece.
And because the grown-ups deserve a little extra Christmas cheer, adult libations will be available for the adults while they create their gingerbread masterpieces.
Decorate. Compete. Eat. Drink. Have fun. And may the best gingerbread house win!
