If you’re in Beirut and looking for a last-minute holiday activity, Soul of Beirut in Furn El Shebbek is hosting gingerbread house workshops daily until December 31, 2025.
This is probably the best holiday activity to join with a group of friends because it’s equal parts fun and delicious.

The workshops are simple and hands-on. You’ll get gingerbread pieces, icing, candies, and step-by-step guidance. It’s easy to join whether you’ve tried decorating before or not, and you’ll leave with a gingerbread house you made yourself.
Soul of Beirut also offers other creative activities like sip-and-paint, clay sculpting, and cake decorating, but the gingerbread houses are a seasonal treat. It’s a casual, relaxed way to spend some time being creative and festive.
Since the holidays are almost over, spots are filling up fast. Go with a friend, a sibling, or just yourself, and enjoy a few hours making something sweet before the year ends.
Make sure to follow them on Instagram for more fun workshops. You can also browse the #Holidays2025 section for more content like this.
