National Gingerbread House Day is December 12 – Here are the Best Places to See Incredible Creations in the South

Gingerbread houses are synonymous with the winter months, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate National Gingerbread Day than finding some of the most spectacular displays in the South. From whole gingerbread villages to riverboat designs, these bakers put major time and talent into their creations. The best part is that some of the displays raise donations for nonprofit organizations in their local areas. Be sure to check out the gingerbread house display that Austin, Texas, has to offer at the Four Seasons. If you're in our nation's capital for the holidays The Willard InterContinental should be on your list to visit. Of course, we can't forget that the National Gingerbread House Competition is hosted at the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina, and boy, oh-boy do they have a Christmas gingerbread house display to show off down there. These displays are a sweet treat to the eye and a tempting confectionary feat to the belly.
