Cadel and Mia's gingerbread house doesn't match the box
Matching festive outfits survive the assembly process better than the kit's picture-perfect promise.

The box makes it look straightforward. Cadel and Mia, wearing Santa hats and matching festive plaid shirts, proudly present their gingerbread-house kit to the camera. Then comes the cut from expectation to reality: the pair holding a decidedly untidy construction, their excitement replaced by disappointed looks.
It's a staged, wordless comedy sketch rather than a baking tutorial, and it has drawn roughly 5.4 million views in its first 23 hours. After the hallway battleaxe gag we covered earlier, this upload finds the trouble on the Christmas craft table instead.
Viewers are supplying their own assembly mishaps: several describe struggling to make even the walls stick together. Others point out the gap between the finished house and its packaging. For this particular audience, getting a gingerbread house to stand at all seems to be the more familiar challenge.
