If you are up for a little drive, head to Houston’s Springwoods Village and CityPlace. Memorial resident, Steve Kopelman and his team of partner artisans at New Orleans-based Professional Scenic Services have been commissioned to fabricate the inaugural “gingerbread” village display on the lake system’s eastern banks, adjacent to the Houston CityPlace Marriott at Springwoods Village.
A super-sized fantasy version of the holiday classic. From the Plaza, guests will wind around a path dotted with oversized candy canes, popsicles and gumdrops and cross under an entrance guarded by two gingerbread men before arriving at a raised clearing featuring cookie trees, a 16-foot high house and 12-foot windmill. This is a first of its kind endeavor for Kopelman, a pioneering and globally recognized haunted house producer, COO of the country’s largest escape room company, and co-founder of soon-to-open immersive experiential museum Seismique. For those looking for a seasonal staycation with plenty of shopping, dining and entertainment options nearby, including Old Town Spring, The Woodlands and The Light Park holiday drive-thru display at Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, hotels in Springwoods Village are offering fantastic packages.
