Gingerbread and Peppermint Christmas Decor: Holiday Magic!
Gingerbread and peppermint Christmas decor brings out the magic of the holiday season for children and adults alike. Imagine a tree adorned with candy-striped ribbons, gingerbread ornaments, and whimsical peppermint swirls—it’s like stepping into a storybook bakery filled with holiday treats!
I’ve put together a video of a beautifully decorated gingerbread tree, along with photos of other sweet trees I’ve found at the Dallas and Atlanta markets over the years. Additionally, to help you bring this theme to life, I’ve tagged some of my favorite Trendy Tree products that fit perfectly with this festive look. Get ready to create a holiday wonderland that delights everyone, young and old!
Creating Sweet Memories
Here are some gingerbread houses my daughter, grandkids, and I made together a few years ago. Creating these candy-covered houses remains one of my favorite holiday memories! Making a gingerbread house is a fun way to spend time with family. It’s a tradition that everyone—young and old—can enjoy together.

Storing Your Gingerbread House
Usually, a gingerbread house is tossed out after the holiday season; however, I’ve managed to store a few for future years with good results. I placed each one in a sturdy box just a bit larger than the house, filling any gaps with fiberfill or tissue paper to keep it secure. While it does take up a fair amount of freezer space, it’s doable!
Celebrate the Season with Sweet Creations & Lasting Memories
The best gingerbread houses are the ones that reflect your own creativity and personal style. There’s no wrong way to decorate—let everyone have a turn to add their favorite candies, colors, and unique touches. Paired with gingerbread and peppermint Christmas decor, your homemade gingerbread house will fit right in with the festive charm of the season. Making a gingerbread house together is all about the memories you create along the way. Happy building and happy holidays! 🎄🍬
