Drone-Created Gingerbread Light Shows

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Gingerbread Village in the Sky Show Breaks Records

— December 13, 2024 — Art & Design
Sky Elements Drones has just set a new Guinness World Record for the 'largest aerial display of a gingerbread village' with the new Gingerbread Village in the Sky show. A few weeks ago, right before Thanksgiving, 4,981 drones flew into the sky in Mansfield, Texas, and came together to create a bright gingerbread village.

It was full of intricate detailing as the devices formed an enchanting visual. Some of the components include the candy cane-style streets, and the gingerbread homes were detailed with gingerbread characters and gumdrops on top. There are also Christmas trees and the finale of the shoe sees an appearance by Santa Claus riding into the stars on his sleigh led by a reindeer.
