LYRICS

Sneaky little cookies on the run
Tiptoe through the snow, oh what fun
Candy canes and chocolate chips
Sliding on icing, doing flips oh no

Midnight gingerbread heist, oh oh
Run, run, run, through the snow, snow, snow
Steal the sweets, don’t get caught, oh no
Midnight gingerbread heist, ho ho ho

Milk glasses shake, the bells all ring
Jolly laughter as the gingerbread swing
Ornaments, sprinkles, frosting too
We’re a cookie crew, just passing through shh

Midnight gingerbread heist, oh oh
Run, run, run, through the snow, snow, snow
Steal the sweets, don’t get caught, oh no
Midnight gingerbread heist, ho ho ho

Sliding down the chimney, quick and bright
Dropping little treats in the soft moonlight
No one sees, we vanish out of sight
Frosting smiles wide, gingerbread gang everything’s alright

We sneak through the kitchen nice and slow
Hear a sleepy who’s there uh oh oh no
We freeze like statues made of dough
Santa sneezes loud we duck below
Crumbs flying everywhere as we go

Midnight gingerbread heist, oh oh
Run, run, run, through the snow, snow, snow
Steal the sweets, don’t get caught, oh no
Midnight gingerbread heist, ho ho ho

Midnight gingerbread heist, oh oh
Run, run, run, through the snow, snow, snow
Steal the sweets, don’t get caught, oh no
Midnight gingerbread heist, ho ho ho

Midnight gingerbread heist, oh oh
Run, run, run, through the snow, snow, snow
Steal the sweets, don’t get caught, oh no
Midnight gingerbread heist, ho ho ho

Midnight gingerbread heist, oh oh
Run, run, run, through the snow, snow, snow
Steal the sweets, don’t get caught, oh no
Midnight gingerbread heist, ho ho ho

(Merry Christmas)

There’s nothing quite like watching kids dance around the living room, half singing the wrong lyrics in monotone, fully convinced they’re superstars.

I wanted a song that kids could sing along to instantly — simple words, fun rhythms, and a cheeky storyline that sparks their imagination.

Something they could dance to in their pyjamas. Something that feels like Christmas, but with a twist.

And then came the gingerbread idea.

It happened while the kids and I were icing gingerbread men. One cookie’s arm broke and suddenly, we were imagining tiny cookies sprinting across the counter, plotting a midnight mission.

I loved the idea of these tiny, adorable gingerbread rebels sneaking around like they’re part of a Christmas heist movie.

I could picture it clearly:

• The cookies tiptoeing past the candy canes.
• Sliding across icing like they’re skating.
• Leaving a trail of crumbs like clues.
• Panicking when someone sneezes.
• Then running away laughing under the moonlight.

The storyline was visual, funny, cute… and honestly, incredibly silly.

From there, the song almost wrote itself.

Short lines, bouncy beats, and a repetitive chorus the whole family can shout out without thinking.

Most of all, I wanted it to feel like a little movie in our listeners’ heads. A visual adventure that they can imagine while dancing around the living room.

Christmas is already full of wonder. This song was my way of adding one more little spark — something cheeky, something cute, something that makes everyone smile.

So if your kids start doing the “gingerbread tiptoe” dance or whispering “heist mode” while sneaking cookies from the pantry… well, I guess the gingerbread gang has done their job!
