The gingerbread man originated from ancient European traditions, with roots tracing back to medieval England. Initially, gingerbread was a spiced cake or bread made with ginger, honey, and molasses. The popular tale of the gingerbread man as a character who comes to life is often attributed to American folklore, particularly through the 1875 children's story "The Gingerbread Man" by an unknown author. This story has since become a beloved part of holiday traditions, especially around Christmas.
