Holiday™ Barbie® Doll
Holiday™ Barbie® Doll
The 2008 Holiday Barbie shimmers in a silvery creation designed to resemble a snowflake. Her chandelier earrings add the perfect elegant yet festive touch to the 20th anniversary Holiday Barbie. Barbie collectors and girls ages 6 and up alike will appreciate the beauty of this doll, with her thick lashes, painted red lips, extravagantly curled blonde hair, and a stand so she can be displayed and admired by all.
Barbie Shines for the Holiday Season
This is essentially the same, sturdy Barbie we all know and love, but she’s beautifully decked out for the holidays. The only assembly required is putting her stand together. Though Barbie’s gown looks delicate, with it’s gauzy, snowflake-embroidered bodice and silver skirt, the material is tough and durable. Her long, dangly earrings, however, could see some damage during over-enthusiastic play with small hands. But they’re removable, so you can take them out if you think your girl might lose or break them.
Living in a Winter Wonderland
The holiday Barbies are all about wintry elegance and style, and the 2008 doll is no exception. Barbie’s sophisticated holiday hairdo cascades down her back in a mass of curls tied slightly to the side. The sheer bodice of her gown–the same one she wears in the “Barbie in a Christmas Carol” DVD– is embroidered with shimmery snowflakes that match the silver of the tiered, pleated skirt.
A gauzy sash wraps around her waist and floats down the front of the gown. White slingback heels complete Holiday Barbie’s breathtaking ensemble. For those who like to keep Barbie in her packaging, the 2008 design doesn’t disappoint: a red foil background is decorated with ornaments and 3-D snowflakes suspended in midair.
Little Touches Make Barbie Fabulous
We love the little touches on this Holiday Barbie, like the painted red nails that match her lipstick, the ultra-thick lashes, and the drop earrings that dangle down past her shoulders. We also like the snowflakes that shimmer lightly on her dress as if they’ve just fallen from the sky. Her right arm is cocked permanently at the elbow so it looks like she’s waving. You can also turn this arm so her hand is on her hip.
We could imagine however, that little girls might wish to bend the elbow into a normal position from time to time. And while Barbie’s holiday gown manages to be both stunning and durable, her shoes are functional white plastic that don’t really live up to the rest of the outfit (plus they’re hard to put on). Fortunately, the shoes are hidden by the long dress. Overall, we think Barbie collectors and little girls alike will be thrilled to add this cooly fabulous 2008 Holiday Barbie to their collection.
As the snowflakes fall, this 2008 Holiday Barbie doll sparkles in a shimmering white and silvery gown. Celebrating 20 years of holiday-themed Barbie dolls, she wears a glitter-detailed gown with tiered pleated skirt and chandelier earrings. Measures approximately 12″ tall.
Holiday™ Barbie® Doll Review
(1) Happy New Year everyone..OK,I purchase Holiday Barbie for my daughter every year.Without giving up my age(NO way)..I will tell you that she collects them.There is no dress up,playin with the hair,we are way past that.The doll is gorgeous for collecting.
If my daughter were 6,just by looking at the doll.. I’d know its not for changing clothes,or any of that little girl play stuff.So buy it..admire it,just keep it in the box, wait till your child is old enough not to want to tear it apart and understand to appreciate her for her beauty. ..Like a handkerchief,for showing..not for blowing!I want to thank Amazon again for offering it at almost half store price,and sending the order so quickly.
(2) I purchased this doll as a gift for a needy child. The price was extrememly fair,
and it was the doll requested. When I received the package, it was timely, well packaged, and the original box was undamaged. It was a pleasure to pass this gift along to this child and an extremely smooth transaction with this seller.
(3) As a collector of Barbie’s, I truly think this is an elegant doll. The silver dress has a holiday feel and she is truly beautiful. Any Barbie collector would definitely enjoy displaying this doll.
