The icing is on. The gloves are off.

The Great Gingerbread Build-Off Showdown is where creativity, competition, and a little holiday chaos collide.

 

Teams of 4 go head-to-head to build an unforgettable gingerbread creation against the clock while navigating Roadblocks, surprise challenges, and visits from our infamous Building Inspectors.

 

Bring your crew, your creativity, and your competitive spirit. We provide the gingerbread, icing, and building materials. You bring the plan and the nerve to pull it off.
