My quest to acquire the rest of the Happy Holidays dolls is well on its way and I was able to acquire at a very great price on Mercari Happy Holidays 2016 Barbie- the Latina version in the burgundy/gold version for $15 + shipping . That year, 2016 , they decided to do a trio, Peace, Hope and Love, three dolls in a red, aqua/teal, and blue. The doll in red was a Latina doll, the doll in aqua/teal dress was a Caucasian, and the doll in blue was an African-American.The dolls came in these weird bubble Snowglobe type packaging which does not survive the test of time- the doll I purchased her packaging was slightly coming apart- which did not matter to me- since I intend to de-box all of these dolls anyway and enjoy them. If time and finances allow, I will collect the other two from this series to complete the 2016 collection. Below are photos of her in the box. The biggest problem I have with this series of dolls is that their bodices are plastic, held onto the dress by a thin plastic strip around their back. Extremely cheap, playline and not worth the $39.99 pricetag they were demanding- this was the year that the price went UP.
