The White House in Gingerbread
The holiday season at the White House is celebrated with an abundance of glittering décor, decadent desserts, and fresh pine. One of the sweetest traditions at the Executive Mansion is the unveiling of the official holiday gingerbread house. Since the late 1960s, pastry chefs have created this intricately detailed, candy-adorned house for the enjoyment of the First Family and White House visitors alike, displaying them in the State Dining Room. This delightful treat has a rich history that embodies the holiday spirit.
