The world's largest edible gingerbread village is on display in Kansas City, Missouri.

It's a year-round operation. John Lovitch makes every piece of the gingerbread village himself, down to homemade ingredients for his base.

Currently the world record-holder, this village is made up of more than 1,200 entirely edible gingerbread houses.

It only took Lovitch three days to assemble.

The tradition of making houses and other creations from gingerbread is about 500 years old.
