Mia, you should do makeovers of yourself as your favourite holiday Barbies!

Omg could you imagine a “recreating my fav holiday Barbie gown” video?!! 😱

My mom bought me a Holiday Barbie every year since 1990. She passed away in 2008 sadly, but I buy them for myself every year now. ❤ Thank you for this video!

[@SmittenKitten.]

Losing your mother is so hard. Sending you love during the holidays.

My mom bought me the 2012 one and she passed away in 2016. That’s so cool that you collect them now. God bless you💕

[@tesspalmer992]

What a beautiful tradition to carry on. I'm sure she'd be tickled pink

[@squixiee]

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. May she Rest In Peace.

[@loverrlee]

I’m so surprised they didn’t do a pink dress holiday Barbie this year considering the Barbie Movie’s huge success! They could have even used Margot Robbie’s face mold again and made her super cute like in the movie. ❤

[@paulagreen6005]

Good idea! Maybe next year😅

[@steph8030593]

This years doll was lazy af

[@KennyChesty]

It may be that they'd have to pay a good percentage to Warner Bros. and others if they made anything related to the movie.

[@elinefrit]

Mia, I am a Barbie collector, even have channel based on it and can tell you that only 50% of Barbie collectors will "hate" you for opening the boxes of the Barbies. I love unboxing most of my dolls! I would probably keep the older one that have perfect boxes but all of the rest will leave the boxes instantly! Dolls are made to play with! :D

[@user-zu1py7kv2q]

Yes I know two besides myself and one always opens and displays in a curio and one keeps in boxes

[@Aros4]

Yes!!! Its just so satisfying to hold a doll in your hands and swoosh her around to see the skirts and hairs move and feeling the textures. I have 1 doll I haven’t opened and its a Barbie as the Sugar Plum princess doll and the only reason why I haven’t is because everyone told me not to but I want to swoosh the poofy skirt SO BAD

[@steph8030593]

Why?! Why would you open them? HOW DARE YOU!!!!-Barbie Collectors 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@hollyberry0602]

I open most of my dolls, aside from my two holiday barbies and my special disney Kida doll, she's just too important! For the rest of my collection I love to have them open and pose them and change their looks, it's part of the fun of having a collection!

[@helloandbye3363]

I would keep it in the box but that's just my opinon. I don't judge!

[@User-fp9lg]

I'm shocked they haven't done a Nutcracker themed one yet...especially since they've done like 12 variations of a girl in a red dress lol

[@darianasosa7298]

Probably because they did one for the movie in 2001

[@WatchingYouTube-ph7hj]

They had two nutcracker Barbie’s and they’re amazing!!

[@kkckoz144]

They also have come out with other nutcracker and sugar plum fairy collector barbies that are not associated with thr movie as well. I have a couple of the winter themed but not official holiday barbies

[@alexia3552]

Dude good point! Do you have to license The Nutcracker or is it in public domain...?

[@inoxydable3876]

Damn, crazy how we have completely different styles 😂 Sometimes I'd be like: Oh I liked the previous ones way more than Mia did, but this one I don't like so much; and then you'd say: I LOVE this one!

[@NatNat_210]

Same I didn’t agree with the ratings at all lol

[@K.Shelly]

Same and this little surprise, when I was like "Omg, it's gorgeus!" and then Mia says "Honestly it's not a wow" 😅

[@sjum2643]

Totally, my style is completely different from Mia's. I guess my favorites were in tier B. I think probably all the people commenting here, we have similar at style.

[@brookescheumann]

Literally! Her personal style is completely opposite to mine. Hate her actual style as a style itself. Looks great on her. But when she does the styling videos, I always love the ones she's not a fan of!

[@teamneonorange]

Same! The S tier ones were hideous to me and so many of the lower tiers were beautiful 😂

[@lisaakinlabi]

I'm a lifelong collector of Barbie (soon to be 61) and frankly the market is flooded with Christmas Barbies. They started coming out when people began hoarding them, because they thought they would be worth thousands. Anyone asking those prices are nuts and even nuttier are the people paying anything over $20 to $50 bucks for them. I also think opening Barbies is a must, I mean how can you enjoy them without touching them.

[@JayofallTrades]

I vote for Mia to recreate one of these holiday gowns now that she can sew. Micarah did a few of the recent ones

[@kinleygirlll]

it's so beautiful to see a genuine person on youtube, who wants to actually do good and help. thank you mia for being a wonderful person.

[@denisemanley5318]

I didn’t realize Barbie’s facial features changed. This was a fun video! I had an original 1959 Barbie which was played with for years and passed on to my daughter. Was disappointed in 2023 Barbie. I feel the clothing got made with cheaper material as the years went on. Thanks Mia for taking us back to our childhood! ❤

[@lShishkaBerryl]

The 2023 one looks like a 37 year old chartered accountant lmfao

[@frankiesimmons3382]

Omg. I lost almost all mine when my room.caught on fire and then.I stopped.receiving them when my husband passed away. He bought them for me every year till he passed away amd I had to move into a studio which ended up catching on fire. All my barbies and memories were destroyed. Hopefully one day I can recollect them all again. You are blessed. I watch ur.videos daily buy this one struck my heart and now tear ducks. Display ur barbies fun. Sorry im crying. Thank God u can't hear me. Lol. Your such a genuine heart. Thank you. Frankie

[@karlidomingo]

What’s crazy is the nostalgia I feel seeing the early 2000s Barbies even though I didn’t own one. I remember getting catalogs in the mail and circling the things I loved, and those Barbies were always circled!

[@SCB-il8ez]

I’m shocked that they had zero powder blue 👗 dresses I love that color personally for the holiday season..

[@HolandaChiquita]

Yeah, I was thinking that too! Although maybe they don't dare to do it since Frozen was such a success. Perhaps they have to wait a while due to Disney's contracts etc.

[@pedrito6225]

I’m sorry but as a Barbie collector, if you want to open those dolls, DO IT! You paid for them and the feeling of opening an older Barbie doll is an excitement that really no other thing gives you. I love opening my barbies (very carefully, not cutting anything) and then I put them back in the box just how they came 😂 maybe I’m crazy

[@jenniferirvin8801]

No, absolutely not. Holiday Barbie particularly do not hold worth. You have to have museum like storage conditions anyway to keep them pristine. The rubber bands often disintegrate over time in the older doll' hair and other issues happen.

[@pedrito6225]

@@jenniferirvin8801 that’s what happens if you leave them in the box. And happens to all older Barbie dolls, not only to holiday Barbies. Any Barbie that has rubber bands will have that faith. Sorry but I do not agree, there are no rules to collecting apart from the ones you put yourself.

[@aliaturner8101]

I wonder why there was like zero blue themed ones?? I feel like a winter design with blue would be so easy. My favorite I think was the 2021 (?) with the armor style top. Soooo pretty! Looked like a beautiful winter wedding dress. But I agree, some of the older ones had a lot more interest and flair.

[@sourcherries97]

1999 is blue XD

[@adrie2408]

Definitely needed some more blue or green dresses

[@JB-mq4fi]

Fun fact about me, the only Barbie I was ever given was the 1990 pink Christmas one, I wasn’t born in 1990 but my aunt found it at a charity shop in the box and it was my favourite! I’ve actually been looking for them online but still haven’t purchased one yet 😅, one day!

[@rgarcia1133]

I loved 1998 Holiday Barbie. The black and pink dress with the updo definitely made it a stand out.

[@NotMegSquats]

It’s my all time favorite one. When I think of holiday Barbie I think of 1998.

[@heyheygoz]

I remember getting the 1998 barbie and boy was I so excited!

[@kathampton1992]

I had this barbie too!

[@aliciascott6464]

This was the only holiday Barbie I ever got!

[@lostdomlover]

That was the one my parents bought me and I loved it

[@toxicsugarart2103]

As a (mostly) out of box doll collector: Don’t let the in-box only elitists make you feel bad girl! If opening and playing around with them would make you happy, do it! 💕 My faves are 91, 94, 96, 99, 02, and 04, I just love how soft and cozy they look while still being glam princessy. I got 98 for my birthday a few years ago because my grandma found it at a yard sale in box. 07 also has a place in my heart because my best friend in elementary/middle school got it and she wasn’t allowed to unbox it so she just displayed it in her room and I would admire it all the time lol.

[@XMillyyX]

i kinda collect dolls, I collect LOL OMG Dolls, but those are all still in store

[@Raphael-2]

People do whatever they want with their Collector Barbies, but I can't help thinking that Barbies are made to be opened, held, moved etc.. otherwise it's like they're not alive. Which I recognize is really weird to say but isn't that what every doll lover secretly thinks ?

[@eykyra]

​​@@Raphael-2 My thoughts exactly. I couldn't stand having a doll in its box and not taking it out like ugggh. If I like the packaging especially I like to keep it, but I need to take the doll out

[@Raphael-2]

@@eykyra Yes, otherwise it almost feels like buying a lamp and not turn it on, there is something off. But I respect that people have different feelings for that.

[@leeluvslife]

I have a huge collection, all out of the boxes. What a sad life to be trapped in a box forever. Take those girls out to play!

[@AmNick09]

mia, my grandmother collected barbie’s FOREVER when she passed I hoped to get her collection or at least a piece of it, but my Grandpa knew he would get quite a bit of money if he sold the set together which he did. my heart was broken as me and my grandmother were sooooo close and loved those barbie. this video just reminds me so much of her collection and makes me so happy to see someone else doing what she loved most🤍

[@lindsey12345]

1996 Barbie is my favourite, it's so elegant and regal. And on trend imo, because my mother dressed me in a fur muff and hat for Christmas around that period

[@gwenifyer]

I had 1991 (green velvet) and 1993 (red and gold). What a throw back to see them again! The 1991 was always one of my favorite dresses to play with- just beautiful!

[@blushandberries624]

I loooove the 1991 one! It has such a classy and fun design

[@rcfree]

1991 was the only one I had and I loved it!!

[@rrg7675]

I loved the 1996 fur Russian Barbie! It looks very neat. I love it. Also like 1989 white fur red hair accessory one, the pink 1990 one & 1994 gold and fur one - she's over the top but something about it is neat. Honestly 1999 onwards everything is ok. I feel they can explore more colors and styles other than red, green and white.

[@EyseaSol]

Am I the only older woman here enjoying the nostalgia and watching the styles evolve? I had Barbies, but never any holiday collectors. I was 3 in 1988 when these start, and honestly didn't follow what happened with these over the years. I love this!

Not the only older viewer, I was born in 83' and I love Mia's fun content. I had the 1990 holiday Barbie as a kid, it was my fave.

I think they were trying to make the dresses more contemporary in style, but honestly, it’s holiday Barbie, if there’s any time to go extra with Barbie, it’s Holiday Barbie. Give us all the ruffles, sparkles, fur trim, capes, stoles, and impractical accessories you can fit in one box. Holiday Barbie out to be every little girl’s poufy dress dream.

Aw, I'm an '81 baby, and I had all of the 1988-1996 holiday barbies - and my absolute favourite (the one that went in my keepsake box) is the 1991, green velvet barbie with the jewelled bodice and the little bag. She just had such a softness to her face with the green mascara, and the feel of the dress and her hair was gorgeous. I LOVE that barbie! Thank you for this blast from the past!! xo

[@paulapaprocka1585]

I totally agree about the green velvet Barbie being the most beautiful one something about her just screams to me luxurious Christmas party in a cabin with a fireplace in the mountains hahahaha

I'm an '80 baby. I agree with you, but I'll never forget that bright pink 1990 dress. At 10 years old with Madonna hitting hard with Vogue? The bright pink poofy sparkly dress was my favorite.

I never had a Holiday Barbie, but I had a small cardboard poster of the most beautiful doll I had ever seen. Now after seeing your video, I think it must have been the 1989 Barbie. It brought back childhood memories, and I remember looking at that picture so many times, dreaming of having that doll. Life was more simple back then 😂

[@olgs37]

The 2006 Barbie is really making me think of a Russian style. It's reminding me of Snegurochka (Ded Moroz's granddaughter who helps him distribute the gifts on New Years, not Christmas... she was my absolute favorite growing up!) Edit: for those of whom do not know - Ded Moroz directly translates to Grandfather Frost and he's the Russian version of Santa, except for he does New Years, which is when most Russians give gifts. We actually give our kids gifts on both Christmas and New Years and when they started school, they asked their friends what they got for New Years and were shocked to learn that Americans don't do that, lol.

[@Janna_965]

Yeeeah, she does. I think it's because of the Kokoshnik style tiara

[@olgs37]

@@Janna_965 Not just that, but that braid, too! Growing up, I had an absolutely gorgeous kokoshnik with a lovely blue, red, and gold sarafan that I wore on New Years.

The 2018 one made me get into holiday doll collecting, I thought the dress was soo pretty, especially compared to every other one recently, it's so fluffy and fun and I really liked the tulle type of fabric used. The 2003 one was a childhood doll I had, but I absolutely ripped her out of the box and she's a mess, I had to buy a new one lol, she's so pretty, like an ice queen or like the white witch from Narnia. I liked 96 for the Victorian look, it looks really wintery. 97 is so pretty, I don't know why but she reminds me of an angel you put on top of a Christmas tree.

I bought the 1990 Barbie from a thrift store as a child and didn’t find out she was a holiday Barbie until years later but I love that Miami rated her as a top tier

[@SofiaNeglia]

i've recently moved here where i live (in brazil) and things have been pretty wrought, but your videos always make me feel better! thank you, mia, for being such a unique and kind person

[@MiaMaples]

Thank you, I hope your move becomes easier for you

[@moce55]

Mia:"this Barbie is so special and beautiful" Also Mia: puts it in c tier 😅😅

[@iloveToonLink101]

LITERALLY 😂

[@breannasummers8589]

I thought I was the only one 😭 I feel so accepted and at safe rn. I watched the whole thing and was comparing to see what I had or was missing. This reminds me youtubers are real people too!

[@shandreylynn7802]

I have been a silent watcher for years and I absolutely love all your videos thank you Mia for being my fresh air ❤ I have an idea I think you should design your own holiday barbie gown and take us through the process.

[@paigedixon8274]

I literally love you. You’re actually genuine and have stayed genuine which is so rare to see. I love the Canadian accent too. I’m from Minnesota so mine is similar lol😂❤

[@Sprinklgrl]

Mia is so nice because half of these Barbies looked to me like they were wearing hotel lobby curtains 😂

[@CottageDreams23]

Omg yes! 2009 deserve the S tier~ bcuz its one of my fav too

[@Terahnee]

I never had the Holiday Barbies, but I've had a few other fun ones, even as an adult. The ONLY Holiday Barbie I remember though is that 2006 Bob Mackie one. I think it was the tree-style embroidery that clinched that one in my mind.

[@LucyRedclift]

Aw Mia you’re a breath of fresh air , so genuine, kind and beautiful. I’ve loved watching your videos for the last 5/6 years now ❤️xxx

[@MiaMaples]

Oh wow thank you so much for being here

[@LucyRedclift]

@@MiaMaples aww you’re more than welcome ! Thank you for replying 🙌🏻💕

[@idontknowwhattoput8907]

She’s literally the most real and wholesome person on KZbin she’s so kind and always wants to do the right thing

[@natashaprice3317]

I started collecting these the year they began. Many times it was the only thing I got for Christmas that year. I loved all my mint, in the box, Barbies SO much! Then an ex got mad and stomped them all to pieces. :( I'm now trying to rebuild my collection. It brings me hope seeing you were able to get them!! :D

[@shmooi796]

I'm 2 mins in and when you mentioned the blue mascara I had a flashback of my childhood barbies with blue mascara. 😮 I completely forgot about that!

[@Kim_Breit]

What better way to rest back at home after being in the hospital for a week after a nose surgery than to watch Mia ❤ I always wanted a special holiday barbie, but my parents couldnt afford it because we were 5 kids and my dad couldnt work anymore after a truck accident. So lovely seeing all these ❤

[@exoticwaffle8012]

The fact that you put most of my favorites in the lowest tier :') I loved the 2001 version, it's so pretty!

[@toykeyper8914]

I love the 2001 too, she is gorgeous :)

[@katrinalizon5750]

The sears ones brought back SO many memories. Everytime my grandma got the sears catalogue I went straight to the full page to see what the barbie was. Never got one but I loved looking each year.

[@Hazel743]

I used to get holiday Barbie’s when I was little!! This is so nostalgic for me ❤ I kept one in the box. Wish I still had the rest from the 90’s

[@LibbyBerry]

You should look up some of the other Bob Mackie Barbies. They are absolutely stunning. His design style is over the top but beautiful. He has frequently styled for Cher, including some of her more risque outfits. I could NEVER afford (or fit into) anything he made but I love to look at his styles. His styles, including his styles for Barbie, are basically artwork.

[@sandyyyy8867]

Ooh wow I have the 1998 Barbie from when I was young! She is still standing, one of the rare survivers from my older brother 😂 I didn't know it was a holiday Barbie 🤩

[@allysonheacock3084]

The 1997 Happy Holidays Baribe has a special place in my heart. It was the first Christmas gift I ever received, I was 13 days old on my first Christmas! I still have it in the box in my childhood bedroom!

[@lexyleigh1830]

I was born in 1988 and didn't know that's when they started the holiday barbies. I was obsessed with barbie. My favorite toy of all time

[@user-pk3ej6hp1l]

Turns out the thing I needed today was to see Mia review Holiday Barbies.

[@KaydenKaser]

Mia always makes my day so much better! 💕

[@ashlynharrison3170]

I have the 1993 Barbie! My mom got it for me for my birthday one year because ‘93 is my birth year! I honestly hadn’t paid much attention to the other years so this was such a fun video!!

[@gamergirl417]

I have my original Barbie’s from 1998 through 2005 & the quality is so much better than the ones now, you can just tell the fabric & face molds are so much cheaper now. I would definitely collect the earlier years!

[@madi170]

Mia is seriously the most wholesome person out there💕

[@MiaMaples]

[@savannahclements5797]

I had the Y2K Barbie (the gold one) as a kid and I loved it so much! But tbh the fur around her neck didn't want to stay velcroed on and the big snowflakes on her skirt bent super easily. But with her sleek platinum blonde hair and the deep burgundy lip? She's s-tier for me. It apparently wasn't "fair" to my friends that my doll had a crown so I cut the threads holding it on, but I immediately regretted taking it and put it back on with scotch tape (no one will notice, right?)

[@cortneetryan-mitchell9831]

I had the 1997 Barbie and wish I would’ve never opened it and kept it 😅 my mom begged me not to but when I got old enough I snuck and got it out of the box. So so pretty!
