During the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, the park features a small gingerbread display inside The American Adventure rotunda. Before 2021, the gingerbread display included several Washington D.C. monuments in one display. Beginning in 2021, the display was changed to three separate gingerbread houses inspired by the Lincoln Memorial, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and The American Adventure itself.
