For more than a decade, Barbie has celebrated each holiday season with a special edition doll commemorating the year. Joining this tradition is the lovely 2007 Holiday Barbie. Barbie’s elegant gown features a fitted, strapless bodice with black lace trim along the décolletage, and a full skirt of deep, ruby red. The bodice and skirt overlay are made from soft, rich velvet that is accented with white faux fur and more black lace. Around Barbie’s trim waist is a black belt with a crystal-accented buckle–reminiscent of something Mr. Claus might wear. The gown is removable–thanks to a Velcro back panel–so Barbie can wear something else after the holiday parties have turned into New Year resolutions.
Barbie’s hair is in a half upsweep, with fat curls caressing her slender shoulders. Adorning her long blond locks is a complementary white fur headband. For accessories, Barbie wears a gold necklace with a snowflake pendant that has a small crystal twinkling in its center, matching snowflake earrings, long white gloves, and red shoes. Formal colors coat her lips and eyes, accentuating her perfect smile and flawlessly arched eyebrows.
Whether the 2007 Holiday Barbie is your collection’s first or latest, it’s sure to be treasured for many years to come. Happy holidays!

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.

(what this means)
The Good: Elegant, shimmery, snowflake-themed gown is both festive and stylish
The Bad: Shoes not as elegant as the dress

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.
