If you completed this last time you will not get this quest again, if you started it last time but didn’t complete it you will have to start from the beginning this time but you will get a free one of each prize you have already unlocked. If you purchased the gingerbread house template from the online store but haven’t unlocked all prior prizes you will be able to complete this quest to unlock those.
You may have to wait between completing each set so you complete one set per day (this is different each time it returns, sometimes after completing a set you have to wait for a certain amount of time before being able to continue with the quest unless you are behind then you will move straight onto the next set once you have completed the previous whereas other times you can go straight on to the next set of goals once the previous is complete without waiting.

The Girl Who Games 
Hi there. I decided to start playing Freeplay again, and I wanted to ask you a couple of questions. Its been a few years since I played, and I noticed that as I began making my character that the faces you can choose from are the same. Do you know if EA has any plans to add new faces someday? Also, lol, Ive never liked the way the female characters walk and stand….do you think that’s something they may change or add on to one day? I have to admit I don’t feel very feminine walking around this way. 😊
Let’s see, I guess the last thing I wanted to ask about is the length of time to get certain tasks done. I know it probably hasn’t changed, but having the Sim wait for like ten hours to bake a cake, or five hours talking to a statue, etc drove me crazy last time. So I was wondering if that had been improved at all?
I still love the game and am excited about playing it again-especially since seeing the new quest that’s available-but was curious about these things after being away for awhile. 😊
Thanks SO much for your help! Tracy

The game is 9 years old so it is hard to change some of the core coding needed for different faces etc but maybe it will be possible one day.
Some of the timings have changed over the years and I have tried to keep the quest posts up to date with these changes but they haven’t changed much, it still takes many hours to do a lot of the actions.
Hi again. 😊. I forgot to ask you about the Secret Winter Wonderland quest. Ive just started a brand new game, and so I’m not sure what I need to have done in the game before I can do this quest. Can you tell me if it’s possible for me to be able to do it given that I’ve just begun the game again? It looks so great I’d really hate to miss it!
Thanks again, Tracy

I believe you can start all quests like this from about level 8 so it shouldn’t take long from starting to be able to complete these.
