Why Not a Lego Gingerbread House This Holiday Season?

The Traditional Gingerbread House

Every year, I build a gingerbread house usually with a kit. Building a gingerbread house is still one of the most enduring holiday traditions. But, let’s face it, putting together a gingerbread house is very time-consuming and messy. Even using a kit requires time and effort from handling the royal icing, sugary candies and cookies.

How About Legos for a Change?

If you love the look and nostalgia of a gingerbread house but want to skip the “fuss and muss”, then you need to pick up a Gingerbread House Lego building set. This would make a great family gift since the entire family can come together and build this Lego gingerbread house on Christmas Day.

Incredible Interiors

Probably, one of the best parts of the Lego gingerbread house, is the incredible interiors. With a cookie-based gingerbread house, you usually only get an exterior view. But this set opens up a whole new world of holiday fun for builders that even miniature enthusiasts will love. Inside this set you’ll also find a miniature fireplace that when you press down on the chimney smoke, the fire glows! Lego Candy-Style Furniture Decorate your Lego Gingerbread House with candy-inspired furniture, such as a cotton-candy lamp and a chocolate-bar bed. The Lego set includes an adorable cookie family of three: a daddy gingerbread man, a mommy and a baby. They come complete with a baby carriage and a snowblower for the dad.

Currently the LEGO Creator Gingerbread House 10267 Winter Village Brand New Sealed Exclusive is selling on eBay at over $130.00 which is not cheap. But when you think of the savings every year from building a traditional gingerbread house and how this set could be part of your Christmas tradition every year, it’s a good option this holiday season.
