Nothing says Christmas like a well-decorated gingerbread house…

Christmas is one of few times where we have the chance to catch up with friends and relatives for some quality bonding time. A great way to relax and let you create juices flow at Christmas is the art of gingerbread house building (it’s not as easy as it sounds). The best part is that anyone, young or old, can get involved and share their talent, or just judge the best and eat the rest.

Here are all the places you can make your own gingerbread house in Dubai.
