## About

On select December weekend days and through the week of Christmas, the Hotel del Coronado holds reserved gingerbread house decorating sessions where families decorate a festive gingerbread house together. It is a hands-on holiday activity for children with a parent or grandparent, and the decorated house goes home as a centerpiece or a treat. Sessions must be booked ahead through the hotel's online experiences booking, where times and pricing are listed. Families can pair a session with the resort's other holiday offerings: the free nightly light show in the Norfolk pine grove on the Founders Lawn, the beachfront Skating by the Sea ice rink, or a reserved photo with Santa on the same December dates.
