🏆 People’s Choice Award: Lil' Vikes Child Care

Congratulations, Lil’ Vikes!
🍬 Best Gingerbread Theme: The Hair Factory
In alignment with this year’s “Gingerbread” motif, The Hair Factory created a whimsical display of custom cookie characters—each styled like your favorite stylist! Their shimmery bubble-gum pink décor made the whole scene look good enough to eat.
Congratulations, Hair Factory!

Inspired by the Northern Lights phenomenon visible across Iowa this year, MidStates Bank crafted a magical display of shimmering lights glowing over a snowy gingerbread village.
