1991 Happy Holidays Barbie Doll

Stock number 2696 is one of two catalog entries for the 1991 Happy Holidays Barbie doll in the Happy Holidays series within the Holiday Barbie line. Released in 1991 as a Special Edition in the collector segment, the doll appears in a floor-length green velvet-look gown whose bodice is beaded in red, green, and white sequins. Her long, flowing hair is topped with a bow that matches the gown, and the record lists red and silvery accessories alongside that matching hair bow. The same gown description covers the year's companion entry, stock number 1871; 1991 is the second consecutive year in this database in which the year's design carries two stock numbers, a pattern that holds through 1992 and 1993 as well. In the series' year-to-year color sequence, the 1991 green follows the fuchsia of 1990, the white of 1989, and the red of the 1988 series opener. Reference sources index the release as "1991 Happy Holidays Barbie" or "Happy Holidays 1991." No designer is credited for this entry and no edition size is recorded; the doll's edition designation is Special Edition, matching the rest of the series as cataloged here.

Collector notes

As the companion stock number to 1871, this 2696 entry documents the same 1991 green-gown release under a second catalog identity. Collectors verifying a series run should log the number printed on the example in hand, since the two 1991 entries are otherwise described identically in this record set. The Special Edition designation carries no stated edition size. The matching hair bow and the listed red and silvery accessories are the documented contents to account for on complete examples.
