2025 gingerbread display "drives" into the Broadmoor
The gingerbread tradition at the Broadmoor is driving in style this holiday season in celebration of the U.S. Senior Open Championship, which will be held at the Broadmoor June 25-29, 2025.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KXRM) — The gingerbread tradition at the Broadmoor is driving in style this holiday season in celebration of the U.S. Senior Open Championship, which will be held at the Broadmoor June 25-29, 2025.
The Broadmoor's first gingerbread display was a modest miniature gingerbread house in 1964. Throughout the decades, the displays have grown from miniature houses to entire villages, eventually transforming into life-size displays that amaze visitors during the holidays.
This year, Santa Claus can be seen riding in a life-size golf cart with his elf helper as his chauffeur. The cart, elves, penguins and landscape are all built out of gingerbread, chocolate, candies, icing and more.
Brought to life with motorized elements, the scene will transport viewers to the greens while tapping into the art of golf. The Broadmoor said the delicious display was carefully crafted with over 958 lbs. of powdered sugar, 475 lbs. of flour, 1,801 eggs, 19 pounds of holiday spices, 200 pounds of granulated sugar, 128 pounds of molasses, 6 pounds of salt and 164 pounds of dark chocolate.
Check out the scorecard detailing everything that went into the display:
"Creating the annual gingerbread display is one of our favorite holiday traditions," said David Patterson, Broadmoor's vice president of food and beverage. "While the displays take months of preparation and planning, it's a labor of love and an opportunity to get creative and highlight different aspects of the resort in a truly magical way."
You can see the incredible display in the main mezzanine of the resort's main building until the New Year.
