What We Think At a
Glance
Fun Factor:
Ages: 6 and
Durability: up
(what this means)
The Good: Elegant, shimmery, snowflake-themed gown is both festive and stylish
The Bad: Shoes not as elegant as the dress
In a Nutshell: Fans and collectors of Holiday Barbies will be proud to add this Barbie to their
collection
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
3. 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.
