National Gingerbread House Day

12th December hosts National Gingerbread House day. To celebrate, here are three quick facts and our favourite gingerbread houses.

  • Gingerbread is the perfect biscuit for making structures, due to its rigid nature.
  • Gingerbread houses originated from Germany, whereas gingerbread men came from America. It is actually thought that gingerbread houses came before gingerbread men!
  • The largest gingerbread house in the world was built in Texas in 2013.
