The fully-furnished-in-chocolate house boasts gingerbread bricks, sugar snow and chocolate porch with pastillage cornice trim. Inside the house, a chocolate table, chair and old-fashioned stove hold chocolate accessories in front of the gingerbread fireplace.



Outside, a chocolate deer and chocolate winter tree add to the scene, along with a chocolate elf dropping his letter to Santa in the chocolate mailbox.



The hotel says workers needed more than 1,000 hours to create the scene.
