❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Hi Jack! In Italy until 1995, Barbie Happy Holidays were distributed a year after their release in the United States. For Christmas 1996 there was alignment with the American release and therefore the 1995 Barbie never arrived in Italian toy stores! When the first one arrived for Christmas 1989, I was 20 years old and had mixed feelings about this Barbie. There were no television advertisements, but only paper advertisements and in those photos Barbie was beautiful, displayed like a family jewel, in the background framed photos and vases with flowers and the slogan "The Barbie she'll treasure forever". However, when I saw it in person in the shops, it seemed too exaggerated with very strong make-up, and it also cost a lot! In those years I wasn't working yet and couldn't afford it. Then when I started working, the first one I bought was the third, the one with the pink dress that arrived in Italy for Christmas 1991. And from then on every Christmas until 1998 I always bought the Happy Holidays Barbie. Many years later I recovered the first one, the second one and the one from 1995. My favorite is the first one I bought, the one with the pink dress and that beautiful photo on the back of the box where Barbie is in front of her Magical Mansion. Ah, how I wish I had Barbie's Magical Mansion!!! I don't even know if it ever arrived in Italy. Happy Holidays, Jack! 😘 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy holidays! I didn’t know they didn’t arrive until the next year in Italy! Happy to hear you’ve got them all! I know it can be a struggle to find a lot of these over there. This line is definitely a treasure!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was 20 in 1989 when my then boyfriend (now hubby) gifted 1989 Holiday Barbie ❄️🤍to me for our 2 year dating anniversary. She’s still in the box and sits on our fireplace mantle. We were married 30 years ago this year.
Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it 🫶 The 1990s Holiday Barbie is my favourite too. I’ll wanted her so bad when I’ll was a child and I was actually 10 then. I love everything about her, her hair, the dress, the colour of her dress! 😍 and all of the holiday Barbies back then was amazing! 🌸💖
@ Yes, me too! 😅 I remember how I looked with admiration at the little catalogs that you got with the Barbie dolls back then and fantasized that I would get a holiday Barbie! I didn't get one, but I got several Barbie dolls that I still have to this day and many of them are in great condition 🥰✨
I was never a holiday Barbie collector. Use to see them on antique shops and passed, then a friend gave me her entire collection and I was hooked. Then another friend gave me hers as well and now I have ten of them decorating my house for the holidays. They truly are gorgeous!
That’s amazing! Yeah I think the hot pink number is what got me into them, and then seeing them all here now is really getting me more into the holiday spirit. You’re lucky to have such generous friends!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jack and your brother I am excited ☺️😆 I just bought yesterday the Mattel Sun Malibu Francie Doll 1970 something Doll butt stamped made in Japan 1966 she has no orange 🧡 towel and no bathing suit 🩱 she has a little bit of her back of her hair cut off probably from the kid before me and her left leg knee doesn't bend and snap but her right leg knee does bend and snap she is so beautiful and perfect otherwise no wonky eyes
4:50 I agree with you. I think the pink compliments her skin tone so well and in turn, the pink really stands out against her beautiful dark complexion 💖💝💘
Thanks for your Xmas show of Barbies. I have #1 and #3, and I admit 3 is my favorite of those early years. This put me in some Xmas spirit, especially recently. 💖
Omg thank you so much!!!! Really appreciate the support!! You’re too kind. Definitely my two favorites as well. Glad I could spread a lil Xmas cheer! 🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Holidays to you, Cole, and Norman❣️ I love Cole’s teddy bear(?) chain❣️❣️ 1990 is definitely my favorite, followed by the last one, 1998 💕 I agree, 1990 can be left out on display all year round because the dress is versatile. I may buy her just for the dress and use it to restyle one of my dolls as a princess/queen 👑 I'm not getting bacon with the ‘97 😹 She’s cute too 💖
Aw thank you so much!! Again you’re just too generous. Really appreciate it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’ll tell Cole you’re diggin his chain! And yeah, that insane 1990 gown would make any Barbie a showstopper. So crazy good. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can’t get the image of bacon out of my head after hearing it. lol I don’t want to see it but I do. 🫣 Thanks again!!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
Altho I’m generally not into this era of Barbies, there’s no denying how beautiful and extra these girls are! My favorite has to be 1996. Reminds me of a Disney princess. Happy Holidays!
This video is right on time! The dress of the first one was just in a doll bag I thrifted this week - didn’t know what it was from! Last week I won 20 AA holiday barbies on an online auction and I have them lined up. The second one in pink i have the Caucasian one out the box and the aa one in the box. They really are so beautiful. 2009 is like the most beautiful overall to me and i have the caucasian and aa version of it. 1991 i thrifted the aa version out the box
I own the happy holiday Barbie Doll in the red and white lace dress I had removed her from the box the box got crushed by something on top of it she is great condition no damage
Oh wow, now that’s what a collector doll should look like!! Give me all the beads, brocade, trims and fancy fabrics 👏 I think the dark green one was my fave, but they were all great. 🎄
I have 1994-98. My 1994 is played with. And she is GORGEOUS displayed. 1996 grew on me. I liked her because she was a brunette. Which a Brunette Barbie in the 90s was RARE. And a redhead was even more rare. But as the decade ended, Barbie had more options, like she used to have in the early years.❤
I have all of these plus most of the ornaments 😃 This is probably about my favorite Barbie line. The dresses are beautiful quality! I look forward each year to the new Holiday doll 😂😍
Fantastic video. Great to see you and Cole again..The 1994 Holiday Barbie also was made with a special ornament just for the Barbie Festival that year. I hope you and Cole have a very happy holiday...❤😊
Love your collection, your tree is beautiful. My fav is the 1990's one i wish they would make the holiday ones like these. The 90's ones have so much character
I just found your channel. I love your vibes, and your voice is very calming. I was looking to have something playing in the background while I studied for my finals that I could look at and listen to without it being so in my face and distracting. Your voice and way of recording and showcasing everything are amazing.
Some great dolls there and they are giving me more an 80's vibe with the big, big hair. I can imagine the gowns being worn in a Christmas scene in Dynasty. My favourite is the 1998 dress, I think it's stunning and very wearable. Great video and lovely to hear Cole's opinion too
Thanks so much! I’m with you on the majority feeling very 80s. Definitely some Dynasty vibes. lol 98 definitely feels a bit more like real world fashion, but still big and glorious. Love it. 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos alot. I do have few of these holiday barbies. 2 in box and rest out of box which were getting sold like that on ebay. Around Christmas it feels festive to see all our holidays barbie on display.
1997 Holiday Barbie's dress reminds me of the ribbon candy we ate in the 60's, I'm 69. My fav would be 89' Holiday Barbie because I like to wear the color white like 'The Snow Queen'. I'm guilty for buying these dolls because I like to use them in my decorations during the Christmas season and hide the fact that I love to restyle the hair and play with dolls. I'm partial to Christie so I collect the black versions each year.
Aawwww I had so many good memories with many of these. 1997 in particular I remember fondly. I like that the general public one for that year was brunette, meanwhile, the club exclusive one was blonde. Personally, I don’t see the bacon thing. To me she just looks tacky but in the best way cause she’s a holiday Barbie. 1989 holiday Barbie I still need to get, she’s honestly so adorable. I remember I saw her at the flea market and I passed on her. I kind of regret that now. As for the hot pink one from 1990, she’s honestly one of my favorites. I thankfully have her on display. She has so much hair and so much of a dress it’s ridiculous and I love how campy she is with the painted on sparkles. I actually just got a friend of mine her for Christmas this year because he’s wanted her. He actually found out about her in the beginning of this year and he had no idea she existed. He looked at her and was like who is this goddess? Lol I was surprised he didn’t know about her before. But yeah, 1990 and 2009 on my favorites. Pink being my favorite color, and they are just both so ridiculous and fun. As for holiday excitement, Barbie, I actually had that one once. It was given to me by my aunt as a Christmas gift, and I adored her. I still have her dress to this day. I couldn’t part with that. It’s so elegant and girly. I wound up giving the doll to a family friend who had just lost everything in a flood. I felt sorry for her. Honestly, I miss how over-the-top and ridiculous holiday barbies used to be. I did actually get the Teresa from this year, of course I’m putting her in a different outfit, but I actually really like her. Her makeup is gorgeous, you can see it from outer space. She has so much hair. And she has some very cute festive stripper heels.
Yeah that’s what I like about the 90s holiday Barbies. They’re a bit like campy drag queens. And if I do wind up getting another one it’ll probably be 2009. I’m pushing for pinker xmases from now on. lol and cool that you had the holiday excitement one! I don’t remember ever seeing her before. And as for this year’s holiday Barbie, I do love plaid on Xmas and it’s surprising they haven’t done that before. I wish the dresses were a bit higher quality, but they’re definitely still cute. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎅🎄
@ actually surprisingly while the material is not the best, design wise. Quality wise it’s actually better than last year. I’m not fond of the dress itself. It’s kind of ugly to me. But the quality is actually decent. The fabric feels thick. I remember the one from last year, while I don’t mind the design, the material felt very cheap. I do highly recommend you get at least one. Teresa is just my go to. She’s always been one of my favorites. I might get the blonde, I’m not entirely sure, but I do love the fact that this year has actual make up on. I think that that’s what I’d like about 2009 Holiday Barbie as well. You can see her makeup from outer space. Lol I think another one of my favorites is holiday visions Barbie from 2003. She’s my third favorite. She’s very snow queen. I also love the holiday party from 2004, preferably in the green version. They did make two different versions that year, one pink and one green. And both are lovely, but I feel the green just looks a lot more appealing which is funny because I usually always love pink. But yeah, I thankfully have the AA version. Her makeup is stunning.
Hello! Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the groovy vibes in all your videos. I just discovered you and your twin this year. I'm enjoying all the YT episodes you do together. Love dolls, and yeah, Barbies! You mentioned a few weeks ago that you were going to put the old McDonalds Barbies on your Christmas tree. I noticed that in this video, you have done it. They look great! I'd like to send you some for your tree as a thank you. Do you have a PO Box that I could ship to? They prolly won't make it in time for Xmas but maybe for NewYears! Keep up the great work and thanks again!
I have a lot of these and my favorites are 1989, 1990 and 1988. I love the big hair and big gowns. I have a few favorites from the early 2000 era but not so much on the current ones sadly. Happy Holidays to you!!!!
Happy holidays! Yeah the first three in this series are all fantastic. I wish they were as over the top and kinda campy today as they were then, for sure, but I’m glad the tradition has continued either way. Xmas wouldn’t be the same without Barbie!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh, so hard to choose! I prefer AA over the blonds, but here in Europe, it's quite hard to find Christie mold. My childhood favorite is 1992 "chandelier" Barbie, though I never had her as a kid - I just kept seeing her pictures in the catalogs and dreaming. I recently got 1990 AA, and now it's my favorite holiday girl. 1997 AA is also adorable, and no, no bacon seen!
Yeah I hate how hard it is for collectors in Europe! Glad you snagged the 1990 AA beauty though! She’s just too fun. 🤩 I may have to look for the AA version of some of these and trade them out to have more variety. 🔥🔥 happy holidays!!🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've never even thought about collecting these but now that I see them all together I kinda want them 🫢. Great deal on these also! Happy holidays to you too!!!!⛄🎄🎅
2009 is my favorite. I only buy them if they are cheap or has a interesting face mold. The one i'm eyeing is the 2016 one with the Claudette face mold. The boxes are huge. Even if you take these out the puffy dress still takes up too much room.
You’re right about the boxes and shelf space for sure! Love 2009! And I had to look up 2016 to remind me, and wow that one’s really refined and elegant! Very pretty. 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have the brunette 1997 doll.... meant to represent ribbon candy! Lol! I really don't care for blonde barbies, although I have a bunch. That doll was like Tickle Me Elmo when it came out. It was nuts! I worked at Super K-Mart then and was fortunate to stash one. Heheh.... I also have the 1996 one. The fashion is kinda disappointing though as it is one piece and stiff. Then again, they didn't expect anyone to open them I suspect!
I really like your videos. My favorite is roller skate barbie vintage. I’ve been collecting awhile, I’m thinking about offloading some that I’m not really interested in, do you have any advice where to sell?
Great collection find 👏! I've always loved these beautiful dolls & would love to have them all but my favorite is the 1997 one 😍 I'm happy that I have her too 😊 And no her dress does not look like bacon to me & I had never heard that but I can see what they mean 😆 I recently bought the dress only for the 1988 doll 👍 because her price is too much 👎 Are you planning to collect them all now that you have so many 🤔? I've decided to only collect the ones with red dresses because that's my favorite color & that way it helps to narrow it down so that I don't end up buying them all 🤓
Thank you! Buying only the red ones sounds like a good way to keep it under control! There are definitely some later releases that I like, but I’m glad that these 11 are their own line because it makes it feel like a complete set. So I probably won’t buy anymore (famous last words), unless I see on that I just have to have. 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sad that the doll community in Sweden is so small because the holidays Barbie’s are like 50$ and above… like every Barbie in the box is always so expensive! Don’t know if this even sold i Sweden so that’s why they so expensive but hey! I love to shop Second hand and over my 30 years on this earth i have never seen a Barbie in a box .. and my favourite is the 1992 my birth year ❤️❤️
I hate that it’s so difficult for you guys over there to get your hands on stuff like this! We definitely take it for granted here. Hopefully you can take a trip to the states sometime and go shopping like crazy! Love 92 holiday Barbie, and the birthday Barbie from 92 is super cute too! 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
I put my Bettie Page doll in a holiday dress she looks stunning!!! I would kiss ya under the mistletoe LOL for real I should say I hope you get to kiss someone you love under the mistletoe happy holidays to you and your bro and fam!!!!!!!! and furbabies
I bet Bettie looks fabulous! And you’re too sweet! I’m fortunate enough to have a total hottie with me under the mistletoe this year, and an adorable chihuahua. lol wishing the same for you!! Happy holidays!!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have the 1997 AA holiday barbie, I affirm that her dress is not bacon you I licked it and I can say it is not bacon 😂 just kidding I don't lick it, but I do have her no box. I got her for one whole dollar. I enjoyed this video.
Wow! 1994 she’s gorgeous!! I love the gold. That’s my favorite. With 1996 a close 2nd. Love the outdoorsy look. No, I didn’t see 🥓, Lol. Happy with the brunettes hair finally. I didn’t like the last one at all!!! Love your videos.. ❤️👍🏼🎄
I think 1995 is the best - she just looks like Christmas, followed by 1996 and then 1997 (blonde) she is stunning and i do not see the “bacon resemblance” i just see old school Christmas decor. I think ones after 1997 should just be ignored 😁
What do you think about those 70s Best Buy fashions? Some of them seem like they’re more sought after than others. I always thought they were sorta cheapish but maybe that’s unfair, especially as they represent an era of Barbie and fashion.
Some of them are pretty amazing! I mean, all in all, they can be kinda dull and simple compared to what came before, but the quality is still there. I definitely have a decent amount of them on my 70s shelf. 👍❤️❤️
My favorite Happy Holidays doll has always been 1989. I love the all white look so much. But in the later years I've fallen for 1990. When she originally came out I did not get the pink dress. But now, I just want a pink Christmas. 😊🩷🩷
It’s great to see another regular guy who really likes Barbie’s. I wear black. I have a beard. I have tattoos. Etc. I’ve never seen another Barbie dude like me. 🩷🖤

My favorite is the first one I bought, the one with the pink dress and that beautiful photo on the back of the box where Barbie is in front of her Magical Mansion. Ah, how I wish I had Barbie's Magical Mansion!!! I don't even know if it ever arrived in Italy.
Happy Holidays, Jack! 😘
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy holidays! I didn’t know they didn’t arrive until the next year in Italy! Happy to hear you’ve got them all! I know it can be a struggle to find a lot of these over there. This line is definitely a treasure!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😅i love the old face sculp
I love the gold dress Barbie Doll in the12 days of Christmas
The 1997 ribboned Barbie reminds me of old fashioned hard Christmas candy
I was 20 in 1989 when my then boyfriend (now hubby) gifted 1989 Holiday Barbie ❄️🤍to me for our 2 year dating anniversary. She’s still in the box and sits on our fireplace mantle. We were married 30 years ago this year.
Congrats on 30 years together! Any boyfriend/husband who gifts you Barbies is definitely a keeper! Hope you two have an amazing Xmas!🎅 🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@ Thank you so much!!! Merry Christmas 🎁 to you and yours as well!!!!!!
They are all my favorite
Love the velvet dresses and Victorian vibes on the old holiday Barbies. Great haul and video!
Thanks so much! I’m with ya. Love the Victorian influence. So pretty 😍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's fun to twirl her watch her dress spin
My favorite is 1990. She's the definition of barbiecore.
You said it! 😍💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it 🫶 The 1990s Holiday Barbie is my favourite too. I’ll wanted her so bad when I’ll was a child and I was actually 10 then. I love everything about her, her hair, the dress, the colour of her dress! 😍 and all of the holiday Barbies back then was amazing! 🌸💖
Nice! Yeah that one is just too fun. I would’ve screamed if I’d been given her for Xmas back then. Such a fun line🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
@ Yes, me too! 😅 I remember how I looked with admiration at the little catalogs that you got with the Barbie dolls back then and fantasized that I would get a holiday Barbie!
I didn't get one, but I got several Barbie dolls that I still have to this day and many of them are in great condition 🥰✨
I was never a holiday Barbie collector. Use to see them on antique shops and passed, then a friend gave me her entire collection and I was hooked. Then another friend gave me hers as well and now I have ten of them decorating my house for the holidays. They truly are gorgeous!
That’s amazing! Yeah I think the hot pink number is what got me into them, and then seeing them all here now is really getting me more into the holiday spirit. You’re lucky to have such generous friends!❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are very beautiful when you look closer at them!
Hi Jack and your brother I am excited ☺️😆 I just bought yesterday the Mattel Sun Malibu Francie Doll 1970 something Doll butt stamped made in Japan 1966 she has no orange 🧡 towel and no bathing suit 🩱 she has a little bit of her back of her hair cut off probably from the kid before me and her left leg knee doesn't bend and snap but her right leg knee does bend and snap she is so beautiful and perfect otherwise no wonky eyes
I paid at a thrift store $5
I couldn't wait till January 2
1996 has to be my favorite!
Love that they went with an outdoors look! 😍❤️❤️
4:50 I agree with you. I think the pink compliments her skin tone so well and in turn, the pink really stands out against her beautiful dark complexion 💖💝💘
Right? Reminds me of one of my favorite pieces, this Malibu Christie in a hot pink babydoll negligee. I stare at her all the time lol 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Vintage Barbie's are so fun. I actually like the Holiday Excitement doll, looks really nice.
I'm so happy for you to get them all
Thanks for your Xmas show of Barbies. I have #1 and #3, and I admit 3 is my favorite of those early years. This put me in some Xmas spirit, especially recently. 💖
Omg thank you so much!!!! Really appreciate the support!! You’re too kind. Definitely my two favorites as well. Glad I could spread a lil Xmas cheer! 🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your brother
They were all fantastic but for me it's the one in the green dress. Stunning and the playline white dress is beautiful.
Such a pretty one! Definitely hard to choose, right?😍🎅❤️❤️
Happy Holidays to you, Cole, and Norman❣️
I love Cole’s teddy bear(?) chain❣️❣️
1990 is definitely my favorite, followed by the last one, 1998 💕
I agree, 1990 can be left out on display all year round because the dress is versatile. I may buy her just for the dress and use it to restyle one of my dolls as a princess/queen 👑
I'm not getting bacon with the ‘97 😹 She’s cute too 💖
Aw thank you so much!! Again you’re just too generous. Really appreciate it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ll tell Cole you’re diggin his chain! And yeah, that insane 1990 gown would make any Barbie a showstopper. So crazy good. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can’t get the image of bacon out of my head after hearing it. lol I don’t want to see it but I do. 🫣
Thanks again!!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitness, there are definitely worse things to be reminded of than bacon. Bacon is at least tasty 🤤
🎅🏼🎄💝
They made a few playline Holiday dolls also. I got some cute dresses on ebay from those styles. Cute little cocktail dresses and shorter silhouettes.
Altho I’m generally not into this era of Barbies, there’s no denying how beautiful and extra these girls are! My favorite has to be 1996. Reminds me of a Disney princess. Happy Holidays!
Right? They tend to have these Victorian/Princess vibes. Love 96 🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video is right on time! The dress of the first one was just in a doll bag I thrifted this week - didn’t know what it was from! Last week I won 20 AA holiday barbies on an online auction and I have them lined up. The second one in pink i have the Caucasian one out the box and the aa one in the box. They really are so beautiful. 2009 is like the most beautiful overall to me and i have the caucasian and aa version of it. 1991 i thrifted the aa version out the box
It's absolutely beautiful, but I don't yet have a holiday, Barbie. I love seeing your videos, keep posting 🩷🩵🤍
1990 is my favorite! Who said you have to wear red green silver or gold for the Holidays? You can always go Barbie Pink 💖
Right? I’m all for more pink christmases 😍💞💞💞
I throughly enjoyed all of this🎅🏼🌲🎅🏼🌲🎅🏼
Thank u! Happy to hear it!❤️❤️
Merrrrry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ❤❤❤
Merry Christmas to you!!🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
I own the happy holiday Barbie Doll in the red and white lace dress I had removed her from the box the box got crushed by something on top of it she is great condition no damage
Brunette Barbie
1997 and 1995 Holiday Hostess Barbie
I coincide with your brother taste... hurrays for the ribbon 🎀 Christmas Barbie nyo!😻👍🏼💖💖💖💖💖
Oh wow, now that’s what a collector doll should look like!!
Give me all the beads, brocade, trims and fancy fabrics 👏
I think the dark green one was my fave, but they were all great. 🎄

Oh nice! Yeah they’re all great quality, and a super cute Xmas tradition for Barbie fans. Love it 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
1992 definitely stunned me! Such an extravagant and glamorous winter look ❄️✨
Fantastic video. Great to see you and Cole again..The 1994 Holiday Barbie also was made with a special ornament just for the Barbie Festival that year. I hope you and Cole have a very happy holiday...❤😊
Aw thanks so much! Didn’t know that about the ornament! Hope you have an amazing holiday too!!🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
1996 and 1998 are my favorites, I have both of those beauties up on my shelves! They're just so magical.
always a fun watch,
Love your collection, your tree is beautiful. My fav is the 1990's one i wish they would make the holiday ones like these. The 90's ones have so much character
I think 1997 is the best. I love the ribbon dress
It really is adorable 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video. I loved it nyo!❤
Love your videos alone & also when you have your brother on with ✌🏻
Aw thank u so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
These dolls hard to pick just one!
I just found your channel. I love your vibes, and your voice is very calming. I was looking to have something playing in the background while I studied for my finals that I could look at and listen to without it being so in my face and distracting. Your voice and way of recording and showcasing everything are amazing.
I saw at a thrift store 2001 happy holidays Barbie for $14 a damaged box but doll is good condition
Blonde Barbie
Some great dolls there and they are giving me more an 80's vibe with the big, big hair. I can imagine the gowns being worn in a Christmas scene in Dynasty. My favourite is the 1998 dress, I think it's stunning and very wearable. Great video and lovely to hear Cole's opinion too
Thanks so much! I’m with you on the majority feeling very 80s. Definitely some Dynasty vibes. lol 98 definitely feels a bit more like real world fashion, but still big and glorious. Love it. 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos alot. I do have few of these holiday barbies. 2 in box and rest out of box which were getting sold like that on ebay. Around Christmas it feels festive to see all our holidays barbie on display.

Love it! 89 is such a beauty! I bet your decor looks adorable. Styling all that big hair is so satisfying. Happy holidays!!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow~ thank you for sharing and great descriptions!
I love all of your videos. You always find the best deals on your dolls! I need to go shopping with you!
Aw thanks so much! So many of my shopping trips turn up nothing, but if you’re persistent the deals will turn up! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love it so much❤
Happy holidays!🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
1991 is my favorite with her green velvet and green eye shadow. She sits on top of my piano at Christmas.
Nice! Such a pretty one. Love the velvet 😍🎄❤️❤️
I love the Holiday Barbies! I have them all and display them in my bedrooms throughout the Christmas season!
Oh nice! Such a fun tradition 🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
It doesn't look like a bacon. My favourite is from 1999, she is lovely!
I had the 1992 Holiday Barbie. I need to add her to my collection again. Great video Jack! Happy Holidays! 🎄
Thanks so much! Yeah all the silver and jewels…such a good one. Happy holidays!!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️

He looked at her and was like who is this goddess? Lol I was surprised he didn’t know about her before. But yeah, 1990 and 2009 on my favorites. Pink being my favorite color, and they are just both so ridiculous and fun. As for holiday excitement, Barbie, I actually had that one once. It was given to me by my aunt as a Christmas gift, and I adored her. I still have her dress to this day. I couldn’t part with that. It’s so elegant and girly. I wound up giving the doll to a family friend who had just lost everything in a flood. I felt sorry for her. Honestly, I miss how over-the-top and ridiculous holiday barbies used to be. I did actually get the Teresa from this year, of course I’m putting her in a different outfit, but I actually really like her. Her makeup is gorgeous, you can see it from outer space. She has so much hair. And she has some very cute festive stripper heels.
Yeah that’s what I like about the 90s holiday Barbies. They’re a bit like campy drag queens. And if I do wind up getting another one it’ll probably be 2009. I’m pushing for pinker xmases from now on. lol and cool that you had the holiday excitement one! I don’t remember ever seeing her before. And as for this year’s holiday Barbie, I do love plaid on Xmas and it’s surprising they haven’t done that before. I wish the dresses were a bit higher quality, but they’re definitely still cute. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎅🎄
@ actually surprisingly while the material is not the best, design wise. Quality wise it’s actually better than last year. I’m not fond of the dress itself. It’s kind of ugly to me. But the quality is actually decent. The fabric feels thick. I remember the one from last year, while I don’t mind the design, the material felt very cheap. I do highly recommend you get at least one. Teresa is just my go to. She’s always been one of my favorites. I might get the blonde, I’m not entirely sure, but I do love the fact that this year has actual make up on. I think that that’s what I’d like about 2009 Holiday Barbie as well. You can see her makeup from outer space. Lol I think another one of my favorites is holiday visions Barbie from 2003. She’s my third favorite. She’s very snow queen. I also love the holiday party from 2004, preferably in the green version. They did make two different versions that year, one pink and one green. And both are lovely, but I feel the green just looks a lot more appealing which is funny because I usually always love pink. But yeah, I thankfully have the AA version. Her makeup is stunning.
I love 1989 snowflake Barbie.
Such a pretty one!😍🎄❤️❤️
Merry Christmas I'm going to buy Sun Malibu Francie Doll on January 2 when I get paid for $5
Hello! Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the groovy vibes in all your videos. I just discovered you and your twin this year. I'm enjoying all the YT episodes you do together. Love dolls, and yeah, Barbies! You mentioned a few weeks ago that you were going to put the old McDonalds Barbies on your Christmas tree. I noticed that in this video, you have done it. They look great! I'd like to send you some for your tree as a thank you. Do you have a PO Box that I could ship to? They prolly won't make it in time for Xmas but maybe for NewYears! Keep up the great work and thanks again!
1992 seems awesome. So pretty...so 80s even though it's 92. Lol a silver queen.
Right? Definitely has an 80s vibe. Such a fun one🎄🎅❤️❤️
1996 Love her 🌹❤️🖤
I have a lot of these and my favorites are 1989, 1990 and 1988. I love the big hair and big gowns. I have a few favorites from the early 2000 era but not so much on the current ones sadly. Happy Holidays to you!!!!
Happy holidays! Yeah the first three in this series are all fantastic. I wish they were as over the top and kinda campy today as they were then, for sure, but I’m glad the tradition has continued either way. Xmas wouldn’t be the same without Barbie!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the Makie sculpt the best, but of the dresses I'd have to choose 1986.
Oh, so hard to choose! I prefer AA over the blonds, but here in Europe, it's quite hard to find Christie mold. My childhood favorite is 1992 "chandelier" Barbie, though I never had her as a kid - I just kept seeing her pictures in the catalogs and dreaming. I recently got 1990 AA, and now it's my favorite holiday girl. 1997 AA is also adorable, and no, no bacon seen!
Yeah I hate how hard it is for collectors in Europe! Glad you snagged the 1990 AA beauty though! She’s just too fun. 🤩 I may have to look for the AA version of some of these and trade them out to have more variety. 🔥🔥 happy holidays!!🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love them all❤❤❤
Same!🎅🎄❤️❤️
I've never even thought about collecting these but now that I see them all together I kinda want them 🫢. Great deal on these also! Happy holidays to you too!!!!⛄🎄🎅
lol nice! Yeah definitely snagged a good deal. Happy holidays!🎅❤️❤️
I like 1994 best, however, back in the day , I thought the red ribbon, or bacon dress was tacky. Now I think it's iconic.
Love the gold and fur combo on 96! Yeah it seems most people either love or hate that bacon dress. I think it’s pretty iconic too 🔥🔥
Happy Holidays to you thanks for the video.
Happy Holidays to you too!🎅🎄❤️
2009 is my favorite. I only buy them if they are cheap or has a interesting face mold. The one i'm eyeing is the 2016 one with the Claudette face mold. The boxes are huge. Even if you take these out the puffy dress still takes up too much room.
You’re right about the boxes and shelf space for sure! Love 2009! And I had to look up 2016 to remind me, and wow that one’s really refined and elegant! Very pretty. 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
Prefer the Halloween line honestly 😆
lol I’m a horror buff too. I get it ❤️
I think my favorite is the 2nd one with all faux fur
Such a pretty one!😍❤️❤️
Have a very happy holiday. Hope to maybe meet in the new year.
And no it doesn't look like bacon to me. Lol
97 i have in the brunette
I have the brunette 1997 doll.... meant to represent ribbon candy! Lol! I really don't care for blonde barbies, although I have a bunch. That doll was like Tickle Me Elmo when it came out. It was nuts! I worked at Super K-Mart then and was fortunate to stash one. Heheh.... I also have the 1996 one. The fashion is kinda disappointing though as it is one piece and stiff. Then again, they didn't expect anyone to open them I suspect!
1997 looks like ribbon candy to me lol
I can see that! Hard not to get bacon out of my head once I heard it though lol ❤️❤️
Hola ❤ ty -4- ur vid
I really like your videos. My favorite is roller skate barbie vintage. I’ve been collecting awhile, I’m thinking about offloading some that I’m not really interested in, do you have any advice where to sell?
Great collection find 👏! I've always loved these beautiful dolls & would love to have them all but my favorite is the 1997 one 😍 I'm happy that I have her too 😊 And no her dress does not look like bacon to me & I had never heard that but I can see what they mean 😆 I recently bought the dress only for the 1988 doll 👍 because her price is too much 👎 Are you planning to collect them all now that you have so many 🤔? I've decided to only collect the ones with red dresses because that's my favorite color & that way it helps to narrow it down so that I don't end up buying them all 🤓
Thank you! Buying only the red ones sounds like a good way to keep it under control! There are definitely some later releases that I like, but I’m glad that these 11 are their own line because it makes it feel like a complete set. So I probably won’t buy anymore (famous last words), unless I see on that I just have to have. 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sad that the doll community in Sweden is so small because the holidays Barbie’s are like 50$ and above… like every Barbie in the box is always so expensive! Don’t know if this even sold i Sweden so that’s why they so expensive but hey! I love to shop Second hand and over my 30 years on this earth i have never seen a Barbie in a box .. and my favourite is the 1992 my birth year ❤️❤️
I hate that it’s so difficult for you guys over there to get your hands on stuff like this! We definitely take it for granted here. Hopefully you can take a trip to the states sometime and go shopping like crazy! Love 92 holiday Barbie, and the birthday Barbie from 92 is super cute too! 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video. Fun to see. However, I am not a fan of Holiday Barbie. Merry Christmas.
Thank you! Yeah I can certainly see how they wouldn’t be for everyone. Merry Xmas!!🎅 ❤️❤️
1988 is pure obulence
Some crazy person has a 2001 happy holiday Barbie Doll for $10,000
Im only missing 1988. My favs are 1989 and 1998.
Nice! 88 is awesome but that snowy all white one is amazing too!😍🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Top 3:
1. 1996,
2. 1990,
3. 1988
Nice! I do love how 96 was a bit of a departure with the outdoor look. Such a good one 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I put my Bettie Page doll in a holiday dress she looks stunning!!! I would kiss ya under the mistletoe LOL for real I should say I hope you get to kiss someone you love under the mistletoe happy holidays to you and your bro and fam!!!!!!!! and furbabies
I bet Bettie looks fabulous! And you’re too sweet! I’m fortunate enough to have a total hottie with me under the mistletoe this year, and an adorable chihuahua. lol wishing the same for you!! Happy holidays!!🎅🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
1999 is the best of the 90s one blue dress and better Makie face mold.
Millennium princess! Super pretty! 😍
I also have some of the Avon holiday dolls. I prefer the older dolls 🎄🎅🎁🤶🎄 The quality went way down about 15 years ago imo 😂
lol seems to be the case for a lot of Barbie stuff. I’ll have to look up more Avon holiday dolls. I’m not that familiar with them tbh🧐 🎅❤️❤️
I have the 1997 AA holiday barbie, I affirm that her dress is not bacon you I licked it and I can say it is not bacon 😂 just kidding I don't lick it, but I do have her no box. I got her for one whole dollar. I enjoyed this video.
😂 awesome deal! Bacon or not, she’s beautiful! Thanks so much!! Happy holidays!🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! 1994 she’s gorgeous!! I love the gold. That’s my favorite. With 1996 a close 2nd. Love the outdoorsy look.
No, I didn’t see 🥓, Lol. Happy with the brunettes hair finally. I didn’t like the last one at all!!! Love your videos.. ❤️👍🏼🎄
Thank u!! Yeah the last one doesn’t feel quite as Christmas-y, but I love the gold one too! And fur enhances just about any look. 😍🎅🎄❤️❤️
Agreed! 👍🏼😍🧡
merry Christmas my dear friend to you do you like the 2024 inch love the red head
Merry Xmas! I do like the inclusion of plaid this year! And I think the redhead is my favorite of the bunch! 🎅❤️❤️
I think 1995 is the best - she just looks like Christmas, followed by 1996 and then 1997 (blonde) she is stunning and i do not see the “bacon resemblance” i just see old school Christmas decor. I think ones after 1997 should just be ignored 😁
lol yeah they really did change after this line. Love the color on 95! All solid picks. I’m with you about the bacon thing. 🎅❤️❤️
🎄
What do you think about those 70s Best Buy fashions? Some of them seem like they’re more sought after than others. I always thought they were sorta cheapish but maybe that’s unfair, especially as they represent an era of Barbie and fashion.
Some of them are pretty amazing! I mean, all in all, they can be kinda dull and simple compared to what came before, but the quality is still there. I definitely have a decent amount of them on my 70s shelf. 👍❤️❤️
Francie Barbie's Mod Cousin
My favorite Happy Holidays doll has always been 1989. I love the all white look so much. But in the later years I've fallen for 1990. When she originally came out I did not get the pink dress. But now, I just want a pink Christmas. 😊🩷🩷
Love the all-white with fur! But I’m with you, Xmas could use more pink for sure. 😍🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where do you think I can mostly find these Barbie holidays ?
❤
Heeeey Jackson, can I come and play please ^_^
Anytime! It’s pretty fun over here ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope i got your name right is it Jack
It’s great to see another regular guy who really likes Barbie’s. I wear black. I have a beard. I have tattoos. Etc. I’ve never seen another Barbie dude like me. 🩷🖤
