Every holiday season we look forward to making gingerbread houses with our families, but this year, why not try something different? While gingerbread is a classic, there are tons of fun alternatives that are just as festive. These five alternatives are Instagram worthy, so make sure you snap some shots of the finished product.
Charcuterie Chalet
This food trend is the next big thing in gingerbread houses and it uses all the ingredients found on a charcuterie board. Build your house will have meats, cheeses, nuts, fruits, and pretzels.
Sugar Cube House
Just when we thought gingerbread houses couldn’t get any sweeter, along came sugar cube houses. These houses scream winter with the white design and to finish them off, add candy cane roofs.
Veggie House
Growing up we were told not to play with our veggies, but we’ll make an exception for these veggie houses.
Chocolate House
If gingerbread isn’t your cup of tea, make a chocolate house. You can get really creative with all of the candy additions you add to the house.
Pop-Tart House
Pop-Tarts are really sturdy and this breakfast treat already comes iced. Just add some cereal or candy and you’re house is complete.
