Need a safe holiday activity that doesn’t have a chance that you’ll shoot your eye out? Building a gingerbread house is about as wholesome as you can get. Now there’s an A Christmas Story version that comes with scenes from the 1983 film.

The kit from Cookies United has everything you need to create a holiday masterpiece that even Miss Shields would give an A+ to. The prebaked gingerbread walls and roof will be constructed with the premade white icing. Luckily, the kit comes with a tray with slots, so it’ll be easier to build a strong foundation. Then, you can decorate with the provided candy jewels and fruity gums.

What makes the house a standout piece are the scene setters. There is a Ralphie in a bunny suit, Randy in his snow gear, father in his sweater, Christmas tree, delivery box marked “fragile,” leg lamp, car with a Christmas tree on the roof, and the infamous flagpole scene. The gingerbread house looks hilarious all set up, and any A Christmas Story fan will appreciate all the details!

The A Christmas Story Gingerbread House and Scene Kit is available at Bed Bath & Beyond for $14.99 ($11.99 for BEYOND+ members). You know that you’ll be watching this movie nonstop once December gets here, so building this house at the same time is just the icing on top of the holidays!
