A gigantic Gingerbread Village will debut on December 2 at JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa (691 S Gulf Blvd), inviting guests and holiday enthusiasts alike to marvel at this festive masterpiece until January 2.

In 2023, Chef Inder and his team crafted this delightful wonderland using an impressive 1,000 pounds of gingerbread, 200 pounds of frosting, and 200 pounds of candy. Their creation featured 15 charming village houses, two trains, and a giant snowflake, making it the sweetest city in Florida.

Throughout the month, visitors to JW Marriott Clearwater Beach can enjoy a series of holiday-themed activities, adding extra cheer to the season.
