This phrase refers to a pre-assembled gingerbread house kit sold at Target stores. These kits typically include pre-baked gingerbread house components, icing, and candies for decoration. They provide a convenient and accessible way to engage in the holiday tradition of decorating a gingerbread house.
Pre-made kits offer a simplified approach to this festive activity, eliminating the need for baking and allowing for immediate decoration. This accessibility makes them particularly appealing to families with young children or individuals with limited time. Historically, gingerbread houses became popular after the Brothers Grimm published the story of Hansel and Gretel, and the tradition of making them, particularly during the Christmas season, has endured and evolved.
