Everything really is bigger in Texas. The Traditions Club and St. Joseph Health System of Bryan, Texas, started working last year to beat the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Gingerbread House and this Christmas, they’ve officially succeeded.

The humongous house is 60 feet by 42 feet and measures up to 20 feet tall. It does have a wood base, but it took 1,800 pounds of butter, 7,200 eggs, 3,000 pounds of sugar, 7,200 pounds of flour, countless volunteers and more than 22,000 pieces of candy! Visitors can tour the house and get their photos with Santa for a small fee, with all proceeds going to the St. Joseph’s Level II Trauma Center. The project has already donated $150,000 to the center and will continue raising money until the house comes down on Dec. 14.
