Things got competitive in the Beckham household, as Victoria, David and daughter Harper battled it out to see who could make the best gingerbread house.
Taking the whole thing very seriously, Spice Girls icon Victoria was determined to beat her husband, who also had a look of concentration as he decorated his house.
Of course, 11-year-old Harper was very excited about the whole thing, and went all out with icing and marshmallows.
Documenting the festive fun, Victoria shared a video on social media, telling her 30million Instagram followers: ‘So, today we are making gingerbread houses, me, Harper and David.
‘I’m not good in the kitchen, but trying to get in the Christmas spirit. Let’s see how I do. Expect the worst then maybe it’ll be a nice surprise.’
She then filmed the former Manchester United player hard at work – and he was keen to let Victoria know who he thought was going to triumph.

‘I think you’re complicating yours. Mine’s simple,’ he told her, reaching for a bag of chocolates for decoration.
‘Simplicity wins, every time,’ declared the dad-of-four.
Victoria then teased her husband for eating more treats than what he was decorating with, showcasing his house with yellow icing on the roof and pink dots around the doors.
The fashion designer then showed youngest child’s Harper’s gingerbread house, and was full of praise for her only daughter, who absolutely went to town with sweets and sprinkles.

‘Here’s Harper’s, which looks amazing,’ before Harper agrees in the background: ‘Mine is amazing.’
Finally, in the big reveal, VB showed her own design, which consisted of jelly hearts and green Skittles.
‘I’m having a lot of fun,’ she said, while Christmas music played through the kitchen.
Speaking to her fans in a second vid, she declared: ‘Now, I am very confident that my gingerbread house is gonna be better than David’s.’

‘Harper’s will be better than both of them,’ she insisted, before Harper ran up to the camera to show off a gingerbread person covered in decorations and with red icing for hair, whom she named Barbara.
‘Oh Harper, I love that,’ mum Victoria told her.
‘Harper’s definitely gonna win but out of me and David, 100% I’ve got it down. I’m not even quietly confident, I’m very confident.’
In a final shot, the three gingerbread houses stood side-by-side, before Victoria added that she was ‘feeling very accomplished.’
‘Think I won @davidbeckham’, she added – but we reckon he might disagree on that…

The trio’s festive antics come after Victoria revealed David’s ‘heartbreak’ over how fast she’s growing up, suggesting they’ll want to spend as much time with her as possible before she flies the nest.
Sharing her youngest’s ‘heartbreaking’ request, she recently told the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shephard that Harper has asked to be dropped off further away from the school gates.
‘[David] asked, “Is it uncool that I am your dad?”, To be honest what hope do the other kids have,’ she joked.
