The 2009 Holiday Collector Barbie came wearing a pink and gold lame gown. The doll, intended for adult Barbie collectors, wears a pair of pink chandelier earrings. The Barbie was available in both Caucasian and African-American, as most Barbie dolls are.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001S4TU08/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000ELIXGI&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=10MPX4MNF0SKDE05J9PX

The first Holiday Barbie was introduced in 1998. Over the years the market value of Holiday Barbie's have dropped. A recent Holiday Barbie at a retailer like Amazon.com sells for about $50.00. The older Holiday Barbies, like the 1998 original, are worth more especially in their original packaging.http://www.wiw2u.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=appraisal.certificate&item_ID=103002

The 2008 Holiday Barbie will tie in to the Barbie in A Christmas Carol DVD. She wears a silver gown modeled after the dress in the DVD feature.

In 2007, the Holiday Barbie wore a red dress with white fur and black lace trim, along with a snowflake necklace and earrings. She was 13 inches tall. An African-American version of the doll was also released. While the doll itself had dark skin, the box photos showed her with much lighter skin, causing controversy among collectors.
