Always one of the most popular Barbie releases of the year, the 2026 Holiday Doll features Barbie in a voluminous red gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline and dramatic bow detailing at the hip.
Silver drop earrings, strappy red heels and a bold red lip complete the look, which Mattel says conveys “a dazzling vision of festive elegance and timeless charm.”
