Meet the Holiday Dolls

1988 Happy Holidays Barbie Doll & 1989 Happy Holidays Barbie Doll

Dolls, dolls, dolls! Name them and, for sure, Funfare’s “other beauty expert” Celso de Guzman Caparas has them. Featured in this corner so far are Celso’s Santacruzan Dolls, Costumed Dolls, Celebrity Dolls, Movie Theme Dolls and Beauty Queen Dolls.

Meet Celso’s Holiday Dolls garbed in their holiday (actually Christmas) best.

According to Celso, for 25 years Barbie Doll has been celebrating each holiday season dressed in Christmas-themed gowns.

“The 1988 Happy Holiday Barbie Doll was the first doll released in the special-edition series,” said Celso whose collection includes a Margie Moran Doll that he bought during an auction. “The doll is in glittering-red tulle gown and a white satin bow. Her long blonde hair flows over her shoulders, accented by a silvery bow.”
