There’s no other time of year when families spend more time together than around the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays. From parties and celebrations, to time spent decorating and creating festive feasts - this time of year is perfect for family activities. And nothing brings people together like food and sweets!
Two of the biggest traditions families take part in this time of year are building gingerbread houses and baking. Now we know that not everyone isn’t quite ready to be on one of those television baking contests, so we’ve stocked some items to help out!
We previously wrote about some of our gingerbread houses that are a huge hit every year. Our gingerbread house kits don’t require baking and include everything you need to build, decorate, and display them for your holiday visitors.
Whether you’re looking for a traditional gingerbread house, or something a little more unique like the M&Ms Gingerbread Stadium, these kits are perfect for bringing the entire family together for a holiday arts and crafts activity.

When it comes to cookies, this year we have some that are fun AND delicious! Just like our gingerbread house kits, we have holiday cookies that can be turned into individual pieces of art. These blank canvases are ready for a fun decorating challenge for the whole family. Let’s check them out:
Giant Gingerbread Pal Cookie Decorating Kit
We had to start off the list with a Christmas favorite. This gingerbread man stands 10” tall and 7” wide with plenty of space to dress him up however you want. The kit contains three tubes of sweet, delicious icing, Nerds, and Sweetarts candy that provide the colorful finishing touches. Get one for each member of your family and have a contest to see who created the “best dressed!”

Ninja Gingerbread Cookie Kit
If you’re looking to “kick” your gingerbread cookies up a notch this holiday, here’s a funny way to do it! This kit comes with the gingerbread cookie mix that makes up to a dozen cookies and cookie cutters. Trust us, you don’t need to be a master chef to whip up these cookies! Once out of the oven, let them cool then decorate these ninjas with the included icing and candy accessories.

Ugly Sweater Cookie Kit
Here’s your chance to make an edible version of that sweater Aunt Helen got you last Christmas! This Ugly Sweater Cookie kit makes about ten sugar cookies (trust us, whipping up a batch and making them is simple!) that you can decorate with all the included accessories such as icing, sprinkles, candy canes, sparkles, and more. A fun activity for the whole family to see just who comes up with the ugliest sweater.
