Decorate the garden around your gingerbread house with cone fir trees (as above). Later on, your guests can fill them with ice cream and eat them up.
Melt white chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of warm water. Brush the melted chocolate over the cones, one at a time, and cover in rainbow sprinkles before the chocolate hardens. Keep them in your fridge until you use them. Make sure that you cover all the chocolate with sprinkles, so the cones don’t melt in your guests’ hands.
