The holiday season is all about the sights, scents, and cozy flavors that bring us closer together.

Whether you're indulging in sweet treats or creating the perfect festive scene, we hope this decorating kit becomes a sweet holiday tradition for years to come. 

Ready to create magical memories? Let’s build your village!

How to Build Your Holiday Village

Bring your village to life with this video guide. We’ll show you how to transform your cookie boxes into holiday homes with a snap of your fingers.

Sprinkle Some Joy

Build a Base

Before you start decorating, make sure your village is sturdy. You can use icing to attach your boxes to a cardboard base, but if you wish to save the sweet stuff for your cookies, a hot glue gun works just as well.

Pipe Like a Pro

Icing isn’t just for sticking things together—it’s the paint on your palette, and your boxes are the canvas! Trace over the box’s existing designs or unleash your own creations. Try piping dots to form wreaths or delicate lines for snow-covered roofs.

Get Creative with Candy

Gumdrops, peppermint candies, sprinkles—anything goes! Use colorful candies to line the rooftops or decorate the doors

Add Holiday Flair

Don’t stop at candy. Take a look at your holiday home decor and consider adding extra trimmings like mini wreaths, garlands, and even pom-pom accents to your holiday village.

LACE UP SOME LOVE: LEBKUCHEN-STYLE
Ever seen a gingerbread house with intricate white lace designs? That style is inspired by Lebkuchen, a traditional German gingerbread cookie decorated with delicate icing patterns. Try piping a Lebkuchen pattern on your cookies!
