Funny Gingerbread House Ideas - Chicken Coop

Gingerbread house decorating is classic Christmas, but funny gingerbread houses is where it’s really at. Whether you’re looking to build a small, goofy cottage or an entirely ridiculous Edward Scissorhands-inspired neighborhood of semi-edible houses, there’s something here for you.

And remember: when your gingerbread fails (and falls), add a dinosaur and tell everyone the destruction was part of the design.

2. Barbie Dream Gingerbread House

This gingerbread kit includes everything you need to build the dessert version of Barbie’s dream house. Like Barbie’s, our dream house is also pink and covered in gumdrops. Unlike Barbie’s, ours features Mark Ruffalo giving out backrubs.

6. Candyland Gingerbread House

Candyland is what happens when you deconstruct a gingerbread house and replace all the yummy foodstuffs with cardboard. This Candyland gingerbread house is what the game should’ve been in the first place.

7. Gingerbread Ranch House

If your idea of a Christmas tree is a human-sized cactus, your idea is weird. Also, baking this adorable gingerbread adobe house is for you. It’s even constructed with cinnamon chewing gum sticks as the quintessential clay roof tiles that dot the Southwest — as opposed to the chewed gum wads that dot the bottoms of classroom desks the world over.

8. Lisa Frank Gingerbread House

This Lisa Frank image from the 90s inspired this DIY Lisa Frank creation. Like all things Lisa Frank, it’s essentially every neon-colored item you can find, plus sugar.

9. Retro Gingerbread Holiday Camper

Whether you’re obsessed with tiny home living or just love the concept of getting out of here with all your stuff, this retro camper gingerbread kit is for you. Just don’t get it too close to the campfire.

10. Gingerbread Treehouse

This treehouse made out of gingerbread is probably sturdier than the plywood tree fort your dad built you. Last week. Because he needs you out of the house. Like, right now.

15. The Shire

Hobbits would fully approve of their Shire being turned into an edible piece of art, unlikely as it is to go uneaten until morning — much less until second breakfast.

16. Cat-Friendly Gingerbread House

First off, it’s not Kitty’s fault your Christmas tree looks like a mountain of cat toys. Secondly, you can distract her for at least a few minutes by giving her this gingerbread house for cats. FYI, it’s not edible — for you or for cats.
