Inside Dancing Deer’s 50,000-square-foot building, sweet smells of peppermint and just-baked brownies fill the air. To the left are deep wells of gooey chocolate, to the right legions of spicy gingerbread men are being pulled from living-room-sized ovens, and in the corner thousands of hand-decorated cookies in the shapes of mittens and snowflakes are being wrapped, with hand-tied red bows atop each.

Dancing Deer is putting the finishing touches on yet another successful holiday season. There is a sense of satisfied relief in the air. Santa would be proud.
