Boston Christmas Festival presents the sweeter side of Christmas with 16th Annual Gingerbread House Competition

Pastry Chefs from Boston’s best restaurants competed Friday in The Gingerbread House Competition at Boston Christmas Festival at The Seaport World Trade Center. Competitiors from Tosca, Entertainment Cruises, House of Blues, Ginger Betty’s, Gingerbread Construction Company, Finale Desserteries, Seaport Hotel, Sugar Plum Bakery, Sweet Things, Berkshire Grain and Knoblock Creations presented their whimsical edible works of art now on view until Sunday, November 8. I was lucky to be one of the guest judges, who got to view and taste these elaborate creations along with Maria Stephanos of FOX 25, Leslie Gaydos of NECN, and other journalists from local newspapers and magazines. Most judges brought their kids along, who had to cast their own vote for a Kid's Favorite. Other categories included Most Creative, Most Delicious, Most Decorated and Best in Show.

The Gingerbread Houses will be up for sale with proceeds to benefit Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston. See the winners for yourself, pick up your own Gingerbread House, and shop for your Christmas gifts among 350+ regional artisans at the Christmas Festival.
