There are elaborate gingerbread house projects [1], and then there's Target's Holiday Gingerbread Chocolate Cookie Tree Kit [2] ($10). This new, kid-friendly kit comes with pre-baked chocolate cookies, white icing, green icing, a tray for easy building, and assorted candies (peppermint balls, jelly candy, and Christmas light candy) for decoration.

To make matters easier, it comes with step-by-step instructions that truly anybody can follow — even the non-crafters of the world (*raises hand*). This holiday activity is slightly messier and not quite as easy as baking with Target's giant cookie cutter with 24 shapes [3] in one, but it's yet another holiday season must-have from the irresistible retailer [4].
