Join us on Saturday, December 13 for House of Shine’s first-ever Gingerbread House Competition!
Experience the magic of the holiday season in the Christmas Capital of Texas as teams ages 12+ come together to build, connect, and embody the gracious spirit of Santa. This one-hour competition invites participants to collaborate, get creative, and learn practical skills like teamwork, communication, and perseverance.
Competition Times:
Group Entry Fee: $20 per team
General Admission: $5 per person (includes audience seating and access to additional activities)
In addition to the competition, enjoy festive fun for all ages! Write a Letter to Santa, create a Christmas craft, or cheer on your favorite team from the audience.
A panel of judges—including SHINE Santa himself—will evaluate each gingerbread masterpiece using the SHINE Framework (Strengths, Hobbies, Interests & Irritants, Needs, and Experiences). One standout team will take home a special prize!
More than a competition, this event celebrates the spirit of community, connection, and creativity. At House of Shine, we know it’s not just about the gingerbread—it’s about the joy of building something together.
Now say it with me...
Shine Bright. Spread Cheer. Santa’s Here!
