Although making a gingerbread house is undeniably fun, it is also a lot of effort for something that rarely gets eaten. Between buying all the ingredients, setting aside time to bake and assemble, and then figuring out what to do with it afterward, the tradition can end up feeling more stressful than festive.
That’s what makes Costco’s newest holiday find such a refreshing twist.
This season, the warehouse has brought in a kit that offers the same creative joy as a gingerbread house, but in a way people actually want to eat. The Edible Architecture Charcuterie Kit turns the classic holiday project into a savory experience, complete with a buildable Charcuterie Chalet and a matching CharcuTree.
Everything comes ready to assemble, with an impressive mix of cheeses, cured meats, crackers, and snacks. At $19.99, it’s made for entertaining, especially if you have family coming in and want something that works as both an activity and a centerpiece.
You can see the full setup in a December 17 TikTok shared by @discovering_costco, which shows just how much comes packed into the box:

♬ Christmas Tree Farm - Taylor SwiftEven if you have not made a traditional gingerbread house in years, this savory version is easy to get excited about. The house features sturdy cracker walls layered with salami shingles, a brie cheese spread, and a dusting of finely grated Parmesan that plays the role of snow. Fruit and nut pieces become ornaments, pretzels form windows, dehydrated orange slices add color, and a piping bag helps hold everything together.

The tree is just as thoughtful. It includes sliced salami, cheddar, pepper jack, green olives, a sparkly topper, and a cone-shaped base that makes assembly simple, even if you are not feeling especially crafty.
Altogether, the kit contains 48 ounces of charcuterie, which is plenty to feed a crowd. Clear instructions printed on the back walk you through each step, so the process feels straightforward rather than intimidating.
Costco’s Savory Charcuterie Chalet and Tree Fit Right Into Holiday Entertaining
Charcuterie boards work well for holiday entertaining, as they allow people to graze. Guests can pick up what they want and keep conversations going. Food & Wine highlights the appeal of mixing textures and flavors, pairing cured meats and cheeses with additional flavors from olives or pickles to round out the dish. That same idea carries over here, just arranged as a buildable house and tree instead of a flat board.

Availability can vary by warehouse since Costco’s inventory changes quickly, and seasonal items can sell out or never hit every location. If you see one at your local store, it may be worth grabbing before it disappears.
