2025 Gingerbread Snapdown Winners!

We have our winners!

The 2025 TouringPlans Gingerbread Snapdown awards were announced last night on our Instagram stories and we’re proud to showcase them here, too. We would like to thank everyone who submitted an entry this year! There were  so many fantastic houses that we’ve decided to add a few categories for the 2026 Snapdown!

Every single participant will receive a box of prizes in the coming days. Naturally, the kids who entered the Snapdown will be getting the most loot – even if they didn’t win a trophy. We are grateful for all of the wonderful folks who entered this year and can’t wait to see what you conjure up for next year! On to the winners!

Rider and Blake have won two of our FIVE Future Imagineer trophies! Rider has created a scene from The Muppet Christmas Carol and has managed to capture the joy Bob Cratchit keeps in his heart even when Mr. Scrooge tries to extinguish his light. Blake, right, has a future in architecture and design if her gorgeous house is any indication. Congratulations to you both!

Caden and Camden have won a Future Imagineer trophy for this Avengers tower! Iron Man is ready to save us all! At least until one of these kiddos gets hungry. Congratulations on your win!

Our final Future Imagineer winners are Frankie, left, and Declan! Frankie, a past Snapdown winner, went with a spooky vibe for her house. The bones added a touch of practicality as you’ll note from the stylish and functional door handle. Declan’s design medium was one of Len’s favorites – LEGOs! The diving board on Declan’s house tells us that it’s located in the Orlando area and obviously has a pool. We can’t wait to see what these two create for the Snapdown next year. Congratulations to you both!

Our 2025 Potatoland winner is Debbie and her house made of… potatoes! Look at the fry-thatched roof! As you know, Potatoland is the symbol of true friendship and Liner Love and this cottage is a wonderful example of both. Because we had so many spectacular Potatoland entries this year, we will be expanding the category for the 2026 Snapdown. We can’t wait to see the river of gravy that Debbie will surely create!

There were a few entries that made me weep a bit and this was one of them. What an amazing creation – and it’s entirely edible! Kimberly and Maddie are the winners of the Disney Dish Schmursday Award! Check out our Instagram highlights to see the full design because it’s just incredible. Congratulations and thank you to Kimberly and Maddie!

This entire house is hand-crafted by Anne – and it’s all leather! Congratulations on winning the 2025 Magic Case Award for your truly magical house. Every time we posted this on our Instagram, we got questions about the artist. Drop a note in the comments with your Etsy or shop info, Anne!

This entry made me full ugly-cry. You have to go to our Instagram stories / highlights to see the full video. Teri Jo won the 2025 Gumdrop Gals Award for this TouringPlans Spectacle of Dancing Lights! The spinning carousel and music just took me out. If you are old enough to remember The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights in MGM Studios, then grab a tissue and go watch the video! Congratulations, Teri Jo!

Christi is a past winner and still a strong contender as you can see! Outside of Len, there isn’t a soul around that knows more about the Hank Lonely franchise, Liner Love, and true friendship than Christi. Check out the Han Solo holding a picture of Hank! The Frog Gentleman even made an appearance! Well done, Christi!

Thank you and congratulations to all!
