While having ornaments on a Christmas tree is one way to enjoy the holidays, some Minecraft players like to think on a bigger scale.

This build by Bobicraft uses stained glass and sea lanterns to create supersized Christmas ornaments that light up the night in festivity. These ornaments should be an excellent addition to a Christmas-themed build or even an entire village or town. The ability to cast light, thanks to the internal sea lanterns, ensures no hostile mobs will show up nearby to ruin the mood.

Gingerbread is a common baking confection during the holidays, and plenty of winter revelers create entire gingerbread houses.

Agat3sss on Pinterest had their own unique take on a gingerbread house. They used brown concrete, ice and snow blocks for the exterior wall, plenty of color variants for concrete, and terracotta for the gumdrops lining the house and its walkways.

Candy cane trees and a nice sleigh round out the build's holiday feel, creating a home that any festive player or villager would love to inhabit.
