I know Halloween was only a few days ago, but I feel like October flew by and I know that November will go fast as well. This holiday season, we hope to make a few new traditions. One new tradition that we’d like to start is building a gingerbread house together. Today, I want to share a few gingerbread house ideas.

My boys love putting a gingerbread house together, but we’ve only ever done the ones in the kit. Then again, they like to eat all the sweets as they build more than anything!
My daughter loves icing, so I’m not totally sure ours will ever get assembled, but we will try our best.
All of these ginger bread houses look so cute 😍 Thank you so much for sharing these ideas, really helpful! ☺
I think this is the year we do a gingerbread house with Liam. We havent before but I think he would love it!
I am always looking for new gingerbread house ideas! Thanks so much for the inspiration for our houses this winter!

OMG, thanks for the recipes! I really want to create a gingerbread house this year but we don’t have the gingerbread crackers here in Japan like what you find in the US. So, I might have to make my own crackers.
I have allergies, so we will have to make our own from scratch as well! I’ve never made one before, but can not wait to start a new family tradition.
My boys, my husband and I used to make gingerbread houses often. I loved the smell and to see my boys excitement when it was ready.
Me too! I made them a lot when I was younger and live in the States
I have never made one, but this year I am excited to make it a new family tradition.
I think gingerbread houses looks so sweet. they are also a lovely thing to make as a family too xx
I love making gingerbread houses! I usually buy a kit but a homemade one sounds fun.
