Summary
- A 25-foot tall gingerbread Home Alone house broke a Guinness World Record.
- The edible structure was built in Los Angeles by Disney+ and Hulu.
- Millions of ingredients were used to construct the massive gingerbread house.
A monumental gingerbread recreation of the "Home Alone" house, standing an impressive 25 feet tall, has officially set a new Guinness World Record. This edible masterpiece was constructed in Los Angeles by Disney+ and Hulu to commemorate the beloved film's 35th anniversary. The elaborate gingerbread dwelling measured 58 feet long by 42 feet wide, requiring an astonishing amount of ingredients, including over 5,700 pounds of flour and nearly 1,500 pounds of brown sugar.
The project, which took eight days to complete in mid-December 2025, aimed to immerse fans in the world of Kevin McCallister. Visitors were able to view the creation up close and even take photos with replicas of iconic film vehicles. The initiative also served a charitable purpose, encouraging visitors to donate toys for Toys for Tots, spreading holiday cheer.
This massive gingerbread construction surpassed previous records and captured significant public attention. While the real "Home Alone" house in Chicago is a historic brick structure, this temporary, edible installation offered a unique, festive experience. After its public viewing, the installation concluded its run, leaving behind a sweet memory and a world record.
