Gingerbread cookies: the one thing that can make even the grinchiest person feel a little sweeter. 🍪

Why gingerbread?

Gingerbread is a delicious baked treat that’s made with ginger, molasses and a variety of spices.
It’s not just any cookie, it’s the quirky and adventurous cousin of the cookie family. It’s the cookie that will spontaneously decide to go on a road trip to see the world, leaving its vanilla sugar siblings behind.

Gingerbread, the beloved holiday treat that warms our hearts and tickles our taste buds with its sugar and spice!
So, why limit ourselves to only enjoying gingerbread during the winter months?
That’s right, folks. Gingerbread is not just for the holidays anymore!

How it began

As for the origins of Gingerbread Day, well, it’s shrouded in magical mystery.
Some say it was created by a band of cookie-addicted elves who wanted to celebrate the joys of gingerbread all year round. Others say it was simply a clever marketing ploy by the “Big Cookie” corporation to boost sales during the off-season.
But who really knows?

How to celebrate

The possibilities are as infinite as the cookies on Santa’s christmas tree!

You can make gingerbread houses, gingerbread men, gingerbread muffins and even gingerbread ice cream.

You can have a gingerbread baking competition with your loved ones or even your pets (although, fair warning, they may not be the best judges).

And if you’re on a budget, just make a simple batch of gingerbread cookies and enjoy them with some good company.

But if you’re feeling fancy, go all out!
Decorate your gingerbread house with edible glitter and gold leaf. Serve up some gingerbread-themed cocktails and mocktails. And don’t forget to wear your most festive gingerbread-themed outfit.

So go ahead, celebrate Gingerbread Day not just once, but twice a year!
As long as you’re enjoying it to your heart’s content and not hurting anyone (except maybe a few gingerbread men), who’s to say you can’t? Just tell everyone that Wild Calendar gave you permission.

Happy Gingerbread Day!
