Christmas is fast approaching, which means we need to soak up as much fun seasonal activities as possible this holiday season before it all flies by. An easy way to do that? Gingerbread houses. As a kid, I once made my mom make actual gingerbread piece by piece because I was determined to make an authentic, show-stopping option that year. That didn't turn out so great (maybe that's an understatement), which is we suggest taking the easier route.  Simply pick up a gingerbread house kit that already has everything you need — one that's already ready to decorate with your kids or with a group of friends or family. Plus, instead of just including your standard finds, we also rounded up some fun and unique options for you to try out this year. From a Candy Land dream house to a pink ski chalet, you can stretch those creative muscles and make a whole village this year with our unusual picks. Best of all, you can forget about pulling out all of your baking supplies: these craft kits come with pre-baked pieces to make your holiday decorating as easy as possible. Here are our top picks for fun gingerbread houses to make this year:
