Question 1

Are To-Go Gingerbread House Decorating Kits available this year?

Accepted Answer

Yes! To-Go Kits will be available for purchase in October. Each kit comes with a pre-assembled gingerbread house, icing, and plenty of multi-colored candy for decorating. To-Go Kits will be available for pickup at Drive-Thru Pickup Day on Sunday, December 7th from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

We happily offer complimentary delivery for orders of ten of more To-Go Kits.

Question 2

What should I bring to the event?

Accepted Answer

Your smiling face, some holiday spirit, and creativity! We provide fully assembled gingerbread houses, icing (in a tipped bag for easy decorating), and a “Candy Bar” with a wide assortment of sweet treats.

If you have a specific theme in mind for your gingerbread house, outside decorating supplies are permitted. However, we ask that you do not bring: outside food items, hot glue guns, or glitter.

If you’re bringing a young child, strollers or wagons are discouraged as space is limited for “stroller parking.” The decorating floor gets crowded! There will be valet parking and helpful volunteers once you arrive if you need an extra hand.

Question 3

What's the attire?

Accepted Answer

If you are attending the Ladies Holiday Luncheon, the attire is festive dressy casual.

If you are attending Family Day, festive casual is appropriate. Come dressed for fun and the occasional sticky fingers from lots of sweet treats!

Question 4

Where do I park?

Accepted Answer

We offer complimentary valet at Ladies Holiday Luncheon and Family Day. The valet stand will be at the main entrance of the hospital. Valet is the easiest way to get in and out of the event, especially when you’re leaving with your decorated houses! Self-parking will also be available.

Question 5

What happens in the case of inclement weather?

Accepted Answer

The weather in Dallas can be unpredictable, and we will do our best to keep all registered supporters informed with any updates closer to the event. In the case of inclement weather where we are unable to hold an event, please consider your purchase as a donation to Cookies & Castles Dallas.
