Grab the kids and come see what the award-winning pastry squad at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa has spent more that 400 hours creating for this year’s holiday season… The largest Gingerbread Village in the Valley (AKA the “dazzling masterpiece of glistening gumdrops and sugary icing”) is themed “Holidays Around the World” and is now on display in the coveted Phoenix resort for all to see!

Prepare to be astounded by the 20-foot by 20-foot work of art created with 500 pounds of gingerbread dough, 120 pounds of dark and white chocolate and 150 pounds of sugar. Plus, a revolving toy train circles the lifelike candy-filled village.

It’s important to bring the little ones because the resort will act as a direct portal for letters and wish lists to Santa Claus. Children can mail them to the North Pole at the resort’s festive Dear Santa desk, located adjacent to the gingerbread display.
