Holiday Barbie Dolls Are A Beautiful Gift Tradition

Holiday Barbie 2023Every year Mattel makes a new Holiday Barbie doll.  For decades, I have purchased the new dolls for my own Barbie collection.  It has become part of our holiday tradition.

Each year, I look forward to the annual release of the new Holiday Barbie doll.  I am always excited to see her holiday dress for the current season.  Barbie truly has the most beautiful clothes, especially for Christmas!

For years, we purchased the new Holiday Barbie for our daughter.  I remember a few years when finding the Holiday Barbie was not an easy task.  Now, with online stores, you can almost insure getting one of these sought after dolls, as long as you begin your search before Christmas Eve.

2013 Holiday Barbie

The 2013 Holiday Barbie is dressed all in white with snowflake accents.  I have heard that most often the contestant dressed in white is the one crowned each year in the Miss. America pageant.  Even through I have seen that very thing happen, I am not yet sure if that is a myth or true that the white somehow denotes the winner in advance.   But, I do know this, Barbie is a beautiful choice to give for Christmas.

A Barbie for Everyone

One of the things I love the most about the Holiday Barbies is that they make one for blondes, brunettes, redhead as well as the raven hair beauties.  Everyone has a particular favorite, usually it is the doll that has their own hair color.  No matter which you prefer, either of the hair colors are equally beautiful!

The annual Holiday Barbie Dolls are always stunningly gorgeous, but I think that is true for all Barbie dolls.  Their clothes, their hair styles, their jewelry, even their nails are always styled and manicured to perfection.  Annual Holiday Barbies really do make the perfect holiday collectible for girls and collectors who never get to old to love a new Barbie.

    So many Barbies, so little time!

  2. Where are all the other past barbies? Why stop there why not show ALL of the ones that were ever made?
    I have the very first one and last I heard (which was years ago) it was worth at least a thousand dollars.

    I just forget what year they started (2000? or earlier)

      Hi Kim,

      First, let me thank you for taking the time to comment. To answer your question, I actually struggled with how far to go back. I finally settled on 10 years, which is now up to 12 years due to the age of the article, simply because a lot of the older dolls are either not available for purchase or would not be new in box.

      I believe the first Holiday Barbie was actually released in 1988, but I will admit, I am only a collector, not an expert. Very, very cool that you have such an awesome collector doll!

  3. Susan says:

    Having raised boys, I haven’t held a Barbie doll in years. I certainly can understand why adults collect Barbies, though, especially these gorgeous Holiday Barbies. Wow, love the gorgeous dresses! Maybe the upcoming grand will be a girl!

  4. Holiday Barbie dolls are truly gorgeous. I can see the appeal to collect them.

  5. Rose says:

    I love watching the evolution of Barbie through the ages, and her beauty is more prevalent at Christmas than anytime else.
