Homes for the Holidays: A Hillsborough Gingerbread Tradition

November 1, 2025 - January 5, 2026

Not Your Mother’s Gingerbread Competition

Homes for the Holidays is an annual event held at participating businesses throughout Hillsborough, NC to celebrate the creative arts and bring joy to our community this holiday season. Although it’s a contest, the goal is to spread joy, create a festive atmosphere…and add to your shopping experience as you explore gift options for friends and family.

All aspiring gingerbread artists and architects are invited to participate and have fun showcasing your creative streak and holiday spirit!

Entry Fee: $25, payable at registration.

PLEASE NOTE: The sub-structure for the house can be made of anything. However, anything that can be seen must be edible! Using Royal Icing as the “glue” to hold the house together is recommended.

Registration to enter the contest begins November 1, 2025

View the Houses December 7, 2025 – January 5, 2026
Voting open through December 20th
People’s Choice award winners will be announced December 20th at the Solstice Lantern Walk
