The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, hosts a full lineup of festive programming perfect for family travelers.

 

The property’s popular annual life-sized gingerbread display debuted Dec. 1. Created by the on-site pastry team, this year’s display boasts various sweets, including macaroons and chocolate, complementing the gingerbread design. As a nod to the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympic Games, the display also features Santa on a bobsled and other nods to winter sports.
