For many, a gingerbread house is as much a part of the Christmas season as an Advent wreath on the table. In our Gingerbread Houses & Figures collection, you'll find decorative, non-edible gingerbread houses and gingerbread figures in various sizes, colors, and designs – from compact windowsill models to XXL eye-catchers for the living room. Whether you're looking for a single statement piece or want to expand your Christmas village with a new house: Here you'll find gingerbread house decor that suits your style. For many, a gingerbread house is as much a part of the Christmas season as an Advent wreath on the table – learn more about its origin and tradition in our big gingerbread house guide.

LED Gingerbread Houses for Atmospheric Light

Many models in the collection are available as LED gingerbread houses and create a cozy atmosphere on windowsills, sideboards, or tables with warm white light. Selected products also include a timer function that automatically turns the lighting on and off according to a set rhythm – practical if you want the decoration to light up at the same time every day without having to remember it yourself.

A good example is the colorful LED gingerbread house 25cm: It is made of polyresin, features warm white LED light, and automatically switches off after 6 hours of illumination for 18 hours thanks to the timer. The brown-pink gingerbread house with LED light and timer, 23cm high, also offers this combination of warm white light and timer, made of polyclay. Please note: Not every model in the collection is illuminated or equipped with a timer – details on material, light color, and battery operation can be found on each product page.

Classic, Colorful, or Candy Christmas Style

Stylistically, the collection covers a wide range. Those who prefer tradition can opt for classic brown and white gingerbread houses with snow-covered roofs and warm earth tones – a timeless look that fits into almost any Christmas decoration. Those who prefer something more playful will find colorful and pastel gingerbread houses in Candy Christmas style: with lollipop patterns, icing optics, and cheerful color combinations reminiscent of a candy village.

An example of the more colorful style is the already mentioned colorful LED gingerbread house 25cm; for particularly striking decor, the colorful XXL LED gingerbread house with lollipop pattern at 35cm high is suitable. Both styles can also be combined, for instance, if a classic house serves as a base and colorful figures add accents.

Small, Large, and XL Gingerbread Houses

The appropriate size primarily depends on where it will be placed. Smaller models are suitable for windowsills, shelves, or as part of a Christmas village where several houses are intended to fit side by side. If you prefer to arrange several houses simultaneously, the gingerbread house in a set of 2 at 14cm offers a space-saving way to combine two different designs directly.

For those who want to make a real statement, large, XL, and XXL gingerbread houses serve as a central eye-catcher on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or under the Christmas tree. The XL gingerbread house 52cm, measuring approximately 52 × 28 × 28 cm, is one of the larger models in the collection and is made of polyresin. Since dimensions vary from model to model, it is worth checking the exact specifications in the respective product description before purchasing.

Gingerbread Houses with Figures

In addition to houses themselves, the collection also includes gingerbread houses with figures – for example, with small gingerbread men or other figures that complement the house to create a small Christmas scene. An example is the LED gingerbread house with gingerbread figures at 24cm high, which combines lighting with decorative figures. Such models are particularly suitable if you want to add more narrative details to your decoration without having to arrange several individual objects.

Materials and Details

The gingerbread houses in the collection are primarily made from polyresin or polyclay – robust materials well-suited for detailed surfaces like icing optics, embellishments, or sculpted patterns. The material used for each model is noted on the respective product page, as this can vary between individual houses. When comparing, specifically look for material specifications, dimensions, light color, and timer function to find the model that best suits your preferences.

How to Decorate a Gingerbread House

Gingerbread houses can be staged in many ways: on the dining table as an autumn and winter eye-catcher, on the windowsill with a view from outside, on a sideboard as part of a larger arrangement, or as the center of a small Christmas village with several houses and figures. The combination with other Christmas decorations such as gnomes, nutcrackers, or other illuminated figures creates a particularly atmospheric winter miniature world.

Finding the Right Gingerbread House

Whether illuminated or unlit, small or XXL, classic brown-white or brightly colored in Candy Christmas style: In the Gingerbread Houses & Figures collection, you can choose by size, style, lighting, and material. Browse the entire range and compare the models at your leisure to find the gingerbread house that best suits your Christmas decorations.
