2025 Gingerbread House Decorating Celebration

Get ready for the sweetest holiday celebration of the year! Join us for our Annual Gingerbread House Celebration, with a Carol-Oke twist that brings music, creativity, and family fun together in one festive event.

Take the stage (or cheer from the crowd!) during Carol-Oke Live — our fun-filled holiday karaoke experience. Sing your favorite seasonal songs, join in the laughter, and let your holiday spirit shine. Festive attire encouraged!

Bring your creativity (and plenty of candy!) to design your own custom-baked gingerbread house. Show off your decorating skills for a chance to win a prize — and don’t forget to snap a pic of your masterpiece! Special prize for HBCU themed Gingerbread House (not required) but prizes for your own unique design will be awarded.

Our Premium Hot Cocoa Bar is back — complete with all the cozy toppings to keep those vocals warm. Plus, enjoy a delicious Brunch Buffet while mingling with friends and family. Make magical memories as Santa drops in for pictures, story time, and a little something special for the children.

Step inside our Winter Igloo Photo Booth for your personal or group photoshoot — available in both printed and digital formats.

Holiday crafts & musical activities

Family games & prizes

Joy, laughter, and festive surprises for all ages!

As usual we are looking for support with our community service collections. This year we are collecting women's toiletries (feminine products, soap, lotion, etc) to donate to The Iris House. You can also bring your loose change to help us with our loose change fundraiser. Those coins will add up and allow us to make a difference in our community.

We want all children and families to feel welcome and join in the fun. If you or a family member need special accommodations, please let us know by emailing with the subject line: GBH We Are One.

Get Your Tickets Today — early bird prices end November 15, 2025 and tickets sales will end when Sold Out!
Let’s come together, celebrate, and create memories that will warm our hearts all season long.
