A Utah home is drawing the attention after being decorated to resemble a life-sized gingerbread house.

Virginia Hoffman`s red brick home in Yalecrest, Salt Lake City, bears a striking resemblance to the Christmas season treats. So she started thinking of ways to decorate the home as a gigantic gingerbread house. Hoffman, an interior designer, and her husband, a professional artist, added vanilla wafers into the mix for this year`s decoration.

`We made that out of foam, insulation, and then my husband melted out the squares with a soldering iron, and I painted them and got the exact right colours to look like the cookies,` Hoffman said.

The yearly décor went viral online after Hoffman`s daughter shared photos on Reddit.
