Every holiday season Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa goes all out with a gigantic holiday confectionery structure made out of gingerbread and other candy ingredients.
Once again resembling the hotel itself, the towering feat of sugary treats is a winter wonderland decorated with confection treats resembling cinnamon rolls, macarons, scones, and more. Chip and Dale feature this year decorating a giant cupcake meant to resemble a Christmas tree.
