There is no way to over-do it on gingerbread—it’s not allowed and the very idea should be illegal. This holiday season, pull out the reindeer antlers, put them on your head, and hit the road to a gingerbread event in your area.
Below, you’ll find our picks for this season, that range from displays to open houses, from trails to cocktail parties. Here’s a few to get you started on a gingerbread trail of your own.
