This brunette beauty is not only one of the most expensive holiday barbies, but she’s also one of the most valued barbies overall.She’s ready for a sleigh ride or chestnuts on an open fire in a plush velvet, burgundy jacket with white faux fur at the collar and wrists. The bow was replaced with a more understated snowflake-shaped hair accessory, and she wore a stunning red-jeweled necklace.

In 1990, Mattel introduced the first Caucasian and African American dolls into the Happy Holidays collection.She’s one of the Holiday Barbies that make collectors feel represented, seeing as she’s not wearing the regular English or American style formal gown. Not only did we have the regular Caucasian and African American versions, but they found a friend names Teresa who happens to be a brunette. While the Celebration Barbie welcomed the new Millennium, it couldn’t beat the anticipation of the Millennium Princess. Mint In Box (MIB) – If you find an MIB doll, then it is in mint condition and still in it’s original box or a box from the original design. Since the launch of the Barbie Doll in 1959, little girls around the world have continued to admire and cherish owning one.

The bow, which comes down the tulle bell skirt, is adorned with a sparkling silver pattern that perfectly matches her luxurious silver necklace and earrings. When this doll hit the market, it sold out almost immediately and began a re-selling boom in the barbie market. Her gorgeous dangling silver earrings are the perfect accessory to add that extra wow factor without going overboard. Her waist is wrapped in a luxurious band of silver design and her top has silver beads to shine and sparkle. While they’re all valuable, the models before 1995 are the rarest, followed by the early 2000 models than the more recent 2010s since those are still very available.Instead of an updo or being pulled back, her hair matches the earth-mother feel of the gown and flows along the back of her gown with a large-curled strand in front. All accessories and special ornaments are included and accurately placed on the doll and in the box. The opening of the coat is lined with golden stripes and three large red and golden buttons complete the center to hold the coat closed. Her white gown is accented at the bottom with silver lined frosted icicle shaped cuts and finishes at the base with layers of pink tulle in different shades.
