Barbie Signature 2022 Holiday Barbie Doll (Blonde Hair), 6 Years and Up., HBY03

Product Information

This Holiday Barbie is a pioneer in many ways – it’s the first to use the name “Holiday Barbie” and the first two colorways doll. One wears a green dress while the other’s Burgundy. The Burgundy is rarer because Mattel made a few while the green is quite popular.

The least valuable are the Holiday Barbie dolls sold without boxes. They’re often preowned, so they’ll likely miss a few accessories and need some bolstering. How Old is your Holiday Barbie? Also, unlike the other Barbies, their dresses are monochrome except for a few limited-edition two-toned designs. By Category Barbie is glamorous in a white ballgown with exaggerated fur sleeves and a sheer organza overskirt with fur hemming. She comes with a keepsake snowflake attached to the top left corner of her box. The 1995 Happy Holidays Barbie Doll has a bright smile as big as her hair. Her dress has Holly prints and motifs all over, and it couldn’t be more obvious that she’s a festive doll.

Holiday Barbie® Doll embodies the spirit of the season in a vibrant, red gown inspired by the poinsettia, a symbol of good will and community spirit. Even though Holiday Barbies came only once a year, they’re not all rare since they were mass-produced. Of all the exclusive Holiday Barbies, the 1988 – 1995 models are ultra-rare because they’re the original models, and it’s been a while since they first hit the market. Final Note The very first belle of the ball is a fair blonde-hair beauty in a tulle red ballgown. The dress has a firm bodice with short puffy sleeves and a white ribbon attached at the waist. Her hair is also full with bouncy curls on the tip in typical 80s style.

Each Holiday Barbie has a unique accessory featuring festive symbols like Ornaments, Snowflakes, Stars, Holly, Fig Leaves, and more. Their jewelry is attached permanently, so there’s no extra for playing dress-up or replacement. There are four Box grades – Mint, Never Removed, Damaged, and Removed. Mint in Box (MIB) Holiday Barbies have everything intact, including the box’s shape, accessories, and doll. While they’re all valuable, the models before 1995 are the rarest, followed by the early 2000 models than the more recent 2010s since those are still very available. As exciting as a new year is for everyone, it doesn’t compare to the joy at the turn of the century, or better, Millennium. You know how people make New Year resolutions and promise to make significant changes, well Mattel did so with its Celebration Barbie.

Customer reviews

Naturally, you’d expect the older Holiday Barbies to carry higher values, and you’re right. Considering the age, the chances of finding an NRFB or MIB are slim, and if you do find them, you should be ready to pay a pretty penny in exchange. There’s a rare 1989 Pink Jubilee Barbie released in honor of the 30th anniversary. Then in 2019 (another 30 years later), Mattel released two versions of the anniversary model in silver dresses. Are Pink Box Holiday Barbies Valuable? The value is in the box. It’s one thing to have a doll still intact – hair laid, dress freshly pressed – but to have it in its box is even better. These boxes have terms to describe their conditions among the Holiday Barbie collectors. In 1945, Ruth and Elliot Handler started a small toymaking business in their garage without knowing it would become an empire. Within three years of establishment, they expanded their company to Los Angeles, California.
