These gingerbread house ideas are great places to start when making your edible
Christmas village. Start with one of our top-rated gingerbread cookie recipes
and then get the basics on how to build a gingerbread house (we’ve got
gingerbread house templates if you need ’em!).

Whether you want to build a petite chalet or a towering mansion, we’re sure that
the process will be just as much fun as enjoying snacking on cookies. So whip up
a batch of royal icing (it’ll help your gingerbread house stay together) and
grab all your favorite candies. Then, start building!

GINGERBREAD LODGE

Gingerbread house ideas can be as varied as the homes in our neighborhoods or
favorite destinations. With a little effort, a basic A-frame gingerbread house
kit becomes this snowy ski lodge. We used candy rocks for the exterior, rolled
wafer cookies for exposed beams and a heaping helping of royal icing and coarse
sugar for the snow-kissed rooftop.

GINGERBREAD FARM

Not every gingerbread structure needs to be a house. This gingerbread barn is
the perfect setting for cookie creatures of all kinds.

“Home Sweet Home” Gingerbread Cottage Recipe photo by Taste of Home


HOME SWEET HOME GINGERBREAD COTTAGE

Pull out all the stops when creating your gingerbread house! Use shredded wheat
cereal as shingles, candy canes as decorations and all your other favorite
Christmas candies.

GINGERBREAD CABIN

Who wouldn’t want to curl up in this cozy gingerbread cabin? A basic A-frame kit
gets dressed up with shredded wheat cereal, pretzel rods and candy rocks. Our
favorite embellishment is the mounted candy “antlers” on the front door, made
from a chocolate disc and broken pretzel pieces.

Christmas Tree Cookies Recipe photo by Taste of Home


CHRISTMAS TREE COOKIES

Complete your gingerbread house village with plenty of festive trees. These
cutout cookies can be finished with white frosting and sprinkles to look like
they’ve just been dusted with snow.

GINGERBREAD HOUSE WITH CHIMNEY

Santa will be happy to land on the rooftop of this cute gingerbread house made
from an A-frame kit. The impressive chimney made from graham crackers, icing and
red chewy candy is just big enough for him to slide down.

building these mini cottages.

Gingerbread Chalet Recipe photo by Taste of Home


GINGERBREAD CHALET

For a more modern twist on gingerbread house ideas, try a monochrome look. This
snowy chalet layers different white textures to create a winter fantasy.

Gingerbread Snow Globe Recipe photo by Taste of Home


GINGERBREAD SNOW GLOBE

Looking for a twist on typical gingerbread house ideas? Turn your favorite
cutouts into a sweet scene inside an oversized jar. Nestle tree-, animal- and
house-shaped cookies inside to make a snow globe. This is an innovative way to
decorate gingerbread cookies and show off your collection of cookie cutters.

CHRISTMAS CANDY TRAIN

Make way for holiday gifts! This cookie train can be made with gingerbread or
graham crackers. Fill each boxcar with your favorite candy. Make tracks to wind
through your gingerbread town.

gumdrops on hand to finish this centerpiece.

Gingerbread Country Church Recipe photo by Taste of Home


GINGERBREAD COUNTRY CHURCH

For a stained glass effect, melt hard candies into the windowpanes. Just crush
your favorite flavors and sprinkle into the gap. Just five minutes in the oven
at 350ºF is all you need to make these windows.

MARSHMALLOW SNOWMEN

No winter village is complete without a few snowmen! Add these marshmallow
decorations to your list of gingerbread house ideas. Use a skewer to stick a few
marshmallows together, then pipe on the eyes and nose. To create snow piles next
to your snowmen, use white chocolate chips!

Stacked Christmas Tree Cookies Recipe photo by Taste of Home


STACKED CHRISTMAS TREE COOKIES

Use scraps from your gingerbread houses to make easy stacked Christmas trees.
Use green sprinkles or sugar to make them look like evergreens. Extras like
these will really make your gingerbread village look complete.

GINGERBREAD HOUSE COOKIES

Not all gingerbread house ideas need to be 3-D creations. These cookies use a
classic gingerbread cookie base and a house-shaped cookie cuter. From there you
can pipe on doors and trim to complete the look (feel free to add candy, too!).
