Kids Gingerbread House Decorating

Expand to see the parent tip

Sprinkles N Stuff, a Lomita shop that runs creative classes for kids, adults and families, sets aside this session for children to decorate a gingerbread house. It is the second of the shop's two Saturday morning holiday classes for kids, one week after the cookie class with Mrs. Claus.

The class is listed for Saturday, December 19, 2026 at 11:00 am. The listing text available for this guide did not show a price, a class length or an age range, and places are reserved through the shop's workshop schedule.

Parent tip: December 19 is the last Saturday before Christmas, so book early if this is the one you want. Ask the shop how the finished house travels home, since a freshly decorated one needs a flat spot in the car.

When each Lomita Christmas event for kids happens

The first is Kids Cookie Decorating with Mrs. Claus in Lomita on December 12; the last runs to December 19. Each bar spans an event’s dates, not every hour in them, so check the host’s page for times.

Looking further afield? Our California Christmas events for kids guide lists every event we have found in the state, and we have city guides for Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, Christmas Events in Los Angeles for Kids and Anaheim. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Lomita

Lomita is home to a small railroad museum built to look like a New England train station, opened in 1966 by Irene Lewis, whose company sold kits for live steam locomotives. At Christmas, the confirmed events for kids are two Saturday workshops on Narbonne Avenue, one with Mrs. Claus and one with gingerbread.

How Lomita celebrates

The Christmas listings on this page come from one Lomita business, Sprinkles N Stuff on Narbonne Avenue, which runs creative classes for kids, adults and families. Its December workshop schedule has two Saturday morning sessions for children: cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus on December 12 and gingerbread house decorating on December 19, both at 11:00 am. Narbonne Avenue is also the street where Wikipedia places the Lomita Post Office. No citywide parade or tree lighting appears in the sources used here, so this section stays short.

Fun facts about Christmas in Lomita

Lomita means little hill in Spanish. The city was incorporated on June 30, 1964, to prevent further annexation by neighboring cities, and it now covers 1.9 square miles after once spanning 7. The 2020 census counted 20,921 residents. Since October 1981 Lomita has had a sister city relationship with Takaishi, in Osaka, Japan.

Traditions today

  • Cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus: Sprinkles N Stuff lists a kids' cookie decorating class with Mrs. Claus for Saturday, December 12, 2026 at 11:00 am.
  • Gingerbread house decorating: The same shop holds a kids' gingerbread house decorating class on Saturday, December 19, 2026 at 11:00 am.
  • Lomita Railroad Museum: The city's steam era railroad museum, with its locomotive, cabooses and small park, is open Friday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm according to Wikipedia.
  • Narbonne Avenue: Both workshops take place on Narbonne Avenue, the same street where Wikipedia places the Lomita Post Office.

A fact for kids

The Lomita Railroad Museum has a real steam locomotive built in 1901 and two cabooses you can see up close. There is even a full-size copy of a 1920s water tower, the kind that once filled steam engines with water.

Questions about Christmas in Lomita

When did Lomita become a city?

Lomita was incorporated as a city on June 30, 1964. According to Wikipedia, residents incorporated to prevent further annexation by neighboring cities and to try to curb the development of high-rise apartment buildings.

How did Lomita get its name?

Lomita is Spanish for little hill. The city sits in Los Angeles County, in an area that was once part of Rancho San Pedro, a tract of more than 75,000 acres that the Spanish Crown deeded to soldier Juan José Domínguez in 1784.

How big is Lomita?

Lomita covers 1.9 square miles, all of it land, and had 20,921 residents at the 2020 census. Wikipedia notes that it originally spanned 7 square miles before neighboring cities annexed much of the area, including the land that is now Zamperini Field, the Torrance Municipal Airport.

What is the Lomita Railroad Museum?

It is a small museum devoted to the steam era of railroading, opened in 1966 by Irene Lewis and donated to the City of Lomita in 1967 in honor of her late husband, Martin. The building was designed to replicate the Boston and Maine's Greenwood Station in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

What trains can kids see at the Lomita Railroad Museum?

Wikipedia lists a 1901 Baldwin locomotive, a Southern Pacific tender, a 1910 Union Pacific caboose and a 1949 Santa Fe caboose on display. A small public park that is part of the museum holds a 1913 Union Pacific boxcar and a 1923 Union Oil tank car.

What happens at Christmas in Lomita for kids?

The confirmed listings for 2026 are two Saturday workshops at Sprinkles N Stuff on Narbonne Avenue: Kids Cookie Decorating with Mrs. Claus on December 12 and Kids Gingerbread House Decorating on December 19, each starting at 11:00 am.

Who organizes the Christmas workshops in Lomita?

Both are run by Sprinkles N Stuff, a Lomita business that offers creative classes for kids, adults and families. Its website sends families to a workshop schedule to book classes, so these are reserved sessions run by the shop, not city events.

Is anything free at Christmas in Lomita?

The sources used for this page do not describe a free Christmas event in Lomita. The two confirmed workshops are booked classes, and the listing text did not show their prices. Check the organizer's booking page for the current cost.

Does Lomita have a sister city?

Yes. Lomita established a sister city relationship with Takaishi, in Osaka, Japan, in October 1981. The city is also home to Nishiyamato Academy of California, a Japanese elementary and junior high school that opened in April 1993.

Lomita Christmas events for kids: questions parents ask

What Christmas events for kids are in Lomita in 2026?

Two kids' workshops at Sprinkles N Stuff on Narbonne Avenue are confirmed for this season: Kids Cookie Decorating with Mrs. Claus on Saturday, December 12 at 11:00 am, and Kids Gingerbread House Decorating on Saturday, December 19 at 11:00 am. Both are classes reserved through the shop's workshop schedule.

Are there free Christmas events for kids in Lomita?

Neither confirmed event is described as free. Both are bookable classes at Sprinkles N Stuff, and the listing text did not show a price for the December 12 cookie class or the December 19 gingerbread class. Check the shop's booking page for the current cost before you go.

Where can kids meet Santa in Lomita?

The sources for this page do not list a Santa visit in Lomita. The closest is Kids Cookie Decorating with Mrs. Claus at Sprinkles N Stuff on Saturday, December 12 at 11:00 am, where Mrs. Claus is part of the class.

Do Lomita Christmas events need tickets or sign-up?

Yes for both events listed here. The cookie decorating class on December 12 and the gingerbread house class on December 19 are workshops at Sprinkles N Stuff, and the shop's page points families to its workshop schedule to book a place. Reserve ahead instead of walking in.

Which Lomita Christmas class suits younger children?

The listings call both sessions kids' classes but give no age range. Decorating cookies on December 12 is usually a quicker job for small hands than building up a gingerbread house on December 19. Ask the shop about ages and whether a parent stays before you book either one.

Is there anything for train-loving kids in Lomita at Christmas time?

Wikipedia describes the Lomita Railroad Museum, opened in 1966, with a 1901 Baldwin locomotive, a 1910 Union Pacific caboose and a 1949 Santa Fe caboose, open Friday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. Both workshops fall on Saturdays, so the museum can share the day. Confirm its hours first.

Are there Christmas train rides for kids near Lomita?

Santa trains and holiday train rides have their own guide: Rally Takes the Train’s California Christmas train rides guide. This Lomita guide covers Santa visits, story times, light shows and other events off the rails.

How do you confirm these events?

We list an event only after we find this season’s date on the host’s own website or an official city or tourism calendar. We last checked every listing on November 10, 2026. Hosts change details, so always confirm on the host’s page before you go.

Event names belong to their hosts. Rally Takes the Train is a family picture book and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any host listed here. Confirm dates, times and prices on each host’s own site before you go.
