Guinness Confirms Record-Breaking 'Home Alone' Gingerbread House at Hollywood & Vine

The towering installation anchors Disney+ and Hulu’s 35th‑anniversary campaign for the holiday classic with an on‑site charitable drive.

Overview

  • An on-site Guinness World Records judge verified the structure at 44,838 cubic feet, establishing a new mark for the world’s largest gingerbread house.
  • The two-story build recreates the McCallister home from Home Alone and was reported to have been assembled in eight days.
  • Reported specifications include a footprint roughly 34 feet by 58 feet and a height of over 22 feet, using about 4,200 gingerbread brick tiles and nearly 1,800 roof tiles.
  • The installation opened for public viewing at the Hollywood & Vine lot on December 19 with scheduled time slots and on-site photo opportunities.
  • Toys for Tots representatives were present and visitors were encouraged to donate new, unwrapped gifts as part of the holiday-themed activation.
