Host the Ultimate Gingerbread House Decorating Party! #amazonfinds


Looking for a fun and festive way to bring your friends and family together this holiday season? Hosting a gingerbread house decorating party is the perfect solution! It’s creative, interactive, and filled with holiday cheer. Whether you’re celebrating with kids or gathering a group of adults, this party idea will have everyone engaged and excited. Keep reading for easy tips on how to throw a gingerbread house decorating bash that’s both fun and stress-free!


1. Set the Stage with a Festive Setup: The first step in hosting a successful gingerbread house party is creating the right atmosphere. Decorate your space with festive touches like holiday garlands or string lights. Lay out some fun and colorful tablecloths or placemats, and provide a clear, easy-to-clean workspace for decorating. Use gingerbread themed aprons to keep clothes clean, or have a few holiday-themed towels ready for wiping sticky hands. Let your guests know they can take their aprons home with them as a fun party favor. 

2. Provide All the Decorating Supplies: This is where the magic happens! Make sure you have everything your guests will need to decorate their gingerbread houses. You’ll need pre-built gingerbread house kits, plenty of frosting for sticking everything together, and a variety of candy decorations like gumdrops, candy canes, sprinkles, and licorice. For a fun twist, you could add unique items like edible glitter or mini marshmallows. A tray with compartments will help keep everything neat and accessible.

3. Offer Drinks and Snacks to Keep the Energy Up: Decorating gingerbread houses can be a lot of work—so be sure to keep your guests fueled with plenty of snacks and drinks. Set up a festive beverage station with options like hot chocolate with bombs or spiced apple cider. For snacks, offer some sweet and savory treats, such as mini gingerbread cookies or a charcuterie board filled with both sweet and salty nibbles. Don’t forget some festive paper cups and holiday napkins for easy clean-up.

4. Create a Fun Atmosphere with Music: Nothing sets the mood like a great playlist. Curate a mix of classic holiday tunes, from Jingle Bells to more modern festive tracks. Music will get everyone in the holiday spirit and keep the energy high throughout the decorating process. If you don’t already have a playlist ready, consider streaming a holiday playlist on a smart speaker. It’s the perfect way to maintain the flow of the party without having to stop for song changes.

5. Host a Friendly Competition: Want to add a little fun challenge to the party? Host a lighthearted decorating competition! Set categories like “Most Creative” or “Most Festive” and offer small prizes like holiday-themed gift bags or decorative ornaments for the winners. You could also simply encourage everyone to take pictures of their masterpieces to share on social media. Create a hashtag for your party, so everyone can post and enjoy the memories!

Hosting a gingerbread house decorating party is a fun, interactive way to celebrate the season and make lasting memories with friends and family. With the right supplies, a festive atmosphere, and a creative spirit, you’ll throw a party that everyone will be talking about long after the holidays are over.
