I feel like every year these holiday dolls just look cheaper and cheaper. I thought it was a joke when I saw the price on the Mattel creations store. It's brilliant that Mattel wants to put the effort in to make sure that these doll lines are more diverse but it's just such a shame that because of that the quality is taking a huge hit. why can't we have both 😭. Also there's definitely a model muse body that is just Barbie standing straight with no bent legs or pose but they just don't use it for some reason. I could be wrong but I think that the last time they used it was for one of the basic target dolls, or maybe it was for a Barbie look doll before they switched to the made to move.

I agree, these days the Barbie 'signature' dolls look like the same quality as play line dolls but with a much higher price. Even the plastic they're using for the dolls looks cheap. Mattel isn't even trying anymore. 🙄

Yeah they should bring back the glamour of the Happy Holidays doll. I don't know why they ended that line as the Holiday doll's that they have now are probably more ethincally diverse which is very important. However the dresses now are just blah bland, boring. Also they used to sell brooches, jewellery boxes & decorative plates etc. But with the Holiday line they are just selling the dolls & the hallmarks christmas decorations only.

Quality hasn't taken a dip so they can make more diverse dolls, it's got nothing to do with that. Quality has taken a dip because they make more money that way.

I paid £60 for her in the UK and was more than happy to. She's a standout doll.

I do also wish they had added some gold accenting like the center of the pointsetta! I would totally buy on the spot if there were that detailing

I agree that the petals on the dress are crying out for some gentle sparkle along the edges!

I love the petal shapes on the dress I just wish that it had some accent colors to give it more detail and to make it look more dimensional. It would have been so cool if the tulle underneath was green. I'm loving the red hair too. It's been a while since I got a holiday Barbie, but I might have to get her 😍.

Yes the poinsettia flower inspiration is great but they should have added green and gold accents to make it more clearly ‘holiday’. This looks like a great starting point for a customizer to work off of though. This could have been the first customizable holiday Barbie

Yes, she has a very "blank canvas" look.

The red haired is the best one this time. I love how her hair looks with this dress and the make-up, the quality and taste is getting way better from the last three or four years of Holiday dolls, the face sculpt is cute and beautiful. But still there's so much room for improvement to even reach the quality of the 90's and the 2000's Holiday Barbies. I agree that she is missing some dew drops or rhinestones or some printing or even glitter in silver or gold... but the lack of details doesn't bother me too much this time because the shape and size of the dress is almost perfect and that saves it, I love how well it fits the model muse body especially around the waist. I'm also surprised that the petals of the skirt arent made of that cheap fabric like the underskirt, It's collector material finally. I wish they'd put the same effort for the Disney Princess dolls, one can only dream...

Yeah she’s supposed to look like a 1960s midge

I think you are right about the dress. While it is really beautiful, it misses...something. After having seen your review, I am tempted to buy one of the dolls just for the dress. Maybe to spruce it up a bit and try some different shoes.

Completely agree, the dress is super cute but it could be elevated so much more with some detailing to try and separate it from all the other red dresses the Holiday Barbie’s wear

Last year was such a disappointment, but this one is just magical and I love the red headed one, matches with the dress!!!!! Fun fact: Poinsettias are from Mexico

This face is SO much better than the ones they have been using more recently ❤

Oh my gosh, she's gorgeous! Finally a beautiful holiday Barbie, its been so long, redressed she would be even more gorgeous, that face

The Red Hair Holiday Barbie might the #1 most popular Doll in the world.

I' m agree with you about the red colour! Blue or gold or green would be perfect! Not always the red in Christmas!

I received the blonde one for a birthday present and love her although i wish we could get the red head here! I also find that the plainess of her dress actually looks a lot more elegant/refined than adding lots of extras that can make them look cheap and nasty. Super jealous or your girl!

Another red dress. I feel we keep going back to the dreaded poinsettia for inspiration. The doll herself is pretty.

Her head mold and the facial expression are adorable! Poinsettias are called "Christmas Star" (Weihnachtsstern) in German, which I think is a really cute and fitting name. ...why am I in a Holiday mood all of a sudden?

She’s so pretty! I’ve been looking everywhere for her!

I agree about the glitter or some decorations. If there was more embellishments she would be so cute!

I think she looks amazing

I like the red hair! ✌ 😎 😁

The redhead is a Walmart exclusive. I ordered her the other day on eBay. Can’t wait for this doll to come at my mail. Mattel had gotten cheaper with the Holiday Barbie for the last 6 years. But this facemold are like the breath of the air, she and the brunette are the better ones for this year.

It’s Walmart exclusive not Target

Yes! In the States she was a Walmart exclusive. I think she must have sold out the same day she went online for sale through the Walmart website! I agree that more embellishment on the gown would have been appreciated. Too much red! It really should have a bit of edging or a touch of sparkle. Thank you for the review and unboxing.

I think drops would look really nice on the tool

You are lucky you got her. I’m in the USA and its still very frustrating to get her she is out of stock and not even on MATTEL Creations. I want her she is beautiful. I agree it would of made the doll so much better if it had dew drops and gold glitter ✨ on the dress! ♥️♥️♥️

I was sooo happy when I found this target exclusive at Marshalls and half the price!

I can't even tell you how obsessed I was as soon as I saw this doll's promo pics. I'm also in the UK (London btw), and I'd never have got her without Simon's Collectibles. I said how badly I wanted her and he actually put one aside for me. He's amazing for us UK doll collectors. I absolutely adore her, she's my fave doll that's been released in a LONG time! I haven't unboxed her but I want a second one to unbox and reroot with a different hair colour. ❤️

I agree with the red - need more colors- winter pastel velvets💕

The poinsettia (/pɔɪnˈsɛtiə/ or /pɔɪnˈsɛtə/)(Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a commercially important plant species of the diverse spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Indigenous to Mexico and Central America, the poinsettia was first described by Europeans in 1834. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays.

I mean, this year's Holiday Barbie dress is like cheap red version of Tiana's iconic ballgown from Princess and the Frog... I miss Holiday Barbie from 90s to 2004.

She Is so beautiful, I agree with your, her dress neds a little silver.Love your videos

Love the red hair! This just inspired me to make a red flower costume for my Ariel animator doll for Christmas.

shes a model muse body, and i think the petals could have gold glitter and green on the dress thats a big yes and maybe a poinsetta flower in her hair , simons collectibles send me one to customise i was on scouting for toys lol

I've seen the red-headed one, this one is becoming very popular too cause her face is stunning her and her hair is so red I love it

Hunty, all Barbies have to be produced a year before they go to market. Superstar Barbie came out in 1978 but was made in 1977. The back of her head reflects that. You'll notice that on all your Barbies. Barbie and the Rockers maybe the exception. I don't have any of those in my collection to check, but you do I think if I remember correctly.

I love the simplicity of her elegant red dress. I wouldn't change it.

Fair enough. It is very elegant

Thank you for telling us about Simon’s Collectibles. I like this year’s holiday Barbie after a few years of 🫤 designs. I’m also happy this wasn’t a Bob Mackie year (I hate all of those personally).

Chuckle! An earlier comment I made said I wouldn't change a thing about the 2022 Christmas Barbie. I've recently seen her in a store and, I agree with you! The dress does look rather plain!😉😀

The dress is better than the past couple of years that looked so cheap. The older dress from 1989 I think, was red with gold and has the poinsettias on it. I luv her red hair.

for me the best doll mattel they've made are barbies in 90's and 80's their more effort and more detailed and more beautiful than nowadays.

Oooo that head sculpt is a nice modern take on the classic 60s barbie face. Mattel needs to keep this one for the fashion lines😤

If you look at any toy, the dates on the box are the design year and are usually the year before they are released because as you say it takes a long time to do the design, get prototypes and get them into production. That can lead to a lot of confusion sometimes.

Her face, the hair, make-up wonderful. I can´t buy the doll because we have no Walmart in Germany. I could cry.

The flowers are called poinsettia's a very pretty flower just like the doll!! Lucky youu!!

I think that it would be so fun if they released a pink themed xmas doll!

Finally a redhead holiday doll

Your hair and nails look fabulous💜

The flowers are Poinsettias and funny enough most of the ones you buy during Christmas time are actually forced to bloom a that time using light controls to make them bloom.

I think the Holiday Barbies are getting cheaper and cheaper the old holiday Barbies were so nice looking

Their all gorgeous 😍

While I don’t collect holiday Barbie, for a red ball gown, I do like that it was based on a poinsettia specifically.

The best holiday doll for me is 2008. The silver gown looks expensive

They need more detail! The holidays are a time to go out fun and sparkly! Come on mattel! We love sparkle and details

Most of the Christmas Barbie dolls (primarily classic Millie) felt pretty dull, especially with this dress. But this redhead Odille's charisma adds a dress - it seems, she would look great even at potato sack!

I didn't know the red one was available, in My country Mexico they only sell the other four dolls. I've just bought the Barbie one! Very Nice video! The red one doll is very cute !! ♥️

You are awesome! Love your fun videos 💗

I prefer sparkles every time!

I got this doll when they were first in stock at Walmart. I took her out of the box and gave her a made to move body and restyled her. She is so darn cute! You are so right that the dress does look better in person, but it still needs something to jazz it up. Now I am just waiting for Walmart to restock her so I can get more!!!

She is giving sooo much Künt! Really gorgeous! but your statement is so true I need more Glitz I need more Glamour! This PLAIN red poinsettia dress is so tired like cmon Mattel ! Much love tho love your reviews! 💖💖💖

hey Joey you have no idea how much your chanel means to me I've been bullied because I am 14 and love Dolls’ see your videos let me know me that I'm not alone thank you so much you are amazing 🤩

They should have hemmed the petals in the same ribbon at the neck... Added dew drop pearls to the petals and put some glitter veining design on them and perhaps some glitter on the under skirt... Its just so much red with no accent... Ppl could use it as a good custom canvas though

I love her hair Color as well

I love her! And I do echo your sentiment on the model muse body. While I believe it’s beautifully sculpted, it’s a tad overused and doesn’t offer much in the articulation department. There needs to be more consistency with the body type used within the collector/signature range. I would love to see the model muse pivotal body used more, it offers the the same silhouette of the static model muse body, but much more dynamic in articulation; elbows, wrists, knees, torso, etc. The 90s twist n turn body should only be reserved for repros and throwbacks and the current pivotal play line body should not be used in the signature collection, AT ALL.

The little bow thingy kinda reminds me of the first holiday barbie :)

I missed out on her but I do hope to get her along with the Teresa version. I plan on customizing the dresses and adding embellishments on the petals

They should have given her a pretty hair decoration, and some pretty, dangle fancy earrings. Her dress needs some glitter, sparkles etc. Its just so boring to me. The model muse body again? Now I do love her face mold and her hair color! I might try to find her, she needs some more detail to make her pop.

I feel like it needs more glam! Maybe some gold glitter details

OMG, I was able to order the Limited Edition Advent Calendar Xmas 1950s Barbie Signature with Dark Hair! She was almost 200$!

Nice doll review

Hey Joey. Thank you for posting this video because I seen the red-headed Holly Barbie on the back of one of the other Barbie's boxes you know in the picture of my show all the Holly Barbies.when I went back to Target I only seen the four of them and I didn't see the red-headed growing where so I figured I may have made her up and I was disappointed. As a really young girl she probably look the most like me with the long red hair as a little girl I had hair round her shade.

I absolutely love this doll , you should also check out the new naturalistas doll line it is awesome 🤩!

Gorgeous! I prefer the redhead and Asian girls this year!

I agree 100% with you! a lot of missing details with these dolls :( however she's gorgeous.

Its like they are not even trying anymore. This dress looks like something Rosetta would wear from Pixie Hollow.

This dress is very similar theme wise and packaging wise as 1993 holiday Barbie. A lazy update? Also some fun facts: last time Holiday Barbie wore green was 2011 and the only time she’s worn blue was in 2016. My personal favorites are 1994, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2004, and 2006.

I hate barbies but that face is the prettiest barbie I've ever seen

Advance Happily Holidays 🎄⛄ to you Joey, we'll Christmas is coming on its way. This August 25 is the Anniversary of Pocahontas 2 Journey To A New World (1998) I'm glad that Mattel has finally heard our prayers to reproduce back the original face mold of Barbie like she has during the 90's and late millennium era of 2000's, I'm glad they made her hands none posable/movable since she is a collectors edition. The hair quality is soft

I'm glad you were able to get her. I've been checking Walmart every day and they are always out of stock. I always get the holiday doll, I have every one since '88. I really want the red head but will probably have to settle for one of the others. I even have a friend who works for the store, and In the Toy department, checking for me, and so far his store hasn't gotten it either. I went to Simon's and even there they ask way to much for the red head. I'm not going to spend $84 for a brand new doll when the others in the line are $39. I'm even miffed at Mattel for not having her on their site. Out of all of them, to me, she's the prettiest, but like other people, I'll have to settle for one of the other dolls. Not all of us have that kind of money to get a seasonal "play line" doll. Although I collect the doll, I feel badly for the parents trying to get her for their child. I use to work for Walmart and it was the dealers that caused the problem with these kind of dolls. Like my friend, I was a stocker in the toy department and the dealers would come in and buy entire boxes of toys, like Hot Wheels, just to get the Treasure Hunt out. Then get their money back on the other cars. I'll keep looking for her but I will probably have to give up on getting the red head. I wish each doll had a different design with the gown like they did with Love, Hope and Peace a few years ago. I have all three of those Barbie's.

She is so beautiful ! Red headed Barbie 👄💘💘💘 !!💓💓🌲✨

The dress does look unfinished. It's really missing details. The dewdrop idea is good. I mean, it's Barbie... she is supposed to be the standard. Also, I can't with Holiday Dolls, at the price point, not having articulation.

@BeautyInsideABox

Yeah luckily I didn’t have to pay for her but if I did I would want better quality. The Barbie Rewind line is the same price and has much better articulation

She really needs some pretty gold and green accents. If you didn’t know this doll came with poinsettias on the box, you would not understand what is going on with this dress. She’s way too plain to be a celebrated Holiday Barbie. She needs some ribbons in her hair or a poinsettia in her hair. The reference is too understated. I feel like they spent more on the box than on the gown. I do love the face and the bright, red hair! It’s like they made it half-way there.

I have this doll but in the African American version. I found her yesterday out of Marshall’s for only $19.99 ❤️💛💚🎄

I’m glad they have an Asian one for the 1st time that’s the one I’m getting. The red one has a 60s like face ❤️

Not about the doll, but just had to say that shirt color really brings out your eyes! 💕

Yes I think more color on the doll would be a whole lot better

The face is very pretty and I love the red hair. I believe white pearls at the end of the petals would've looked better. I wish she had more articulation.

she look like migde in barbie with a dream house her nose shape face to🥰🥰🥰🥰

I agree with you, Mattel should have hemmed the petals or lined them. Also maybe some gold embroidery on the petals would have been pretty. The quality of Mattel barbie clothes has really gone down hill.
