Although Barbie could probably still make an ugly Christmas sweater charming, these [Barbie Christmas outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-cutie-reveal-care-bears) are a touch more glamorous than what you might wear to a holiday family gathering. Jones' collection of five Barbies are dressed in gorgeous cocktail dresses, full-length gowns and velvet mini dresses that Barbie might be a little chilly in, if she was not standing beside a cozy fireplace. Nonetheless, the looks are [whimsical, fun and full of fantasy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good). One of the looks turns Barbie into a reindeer, complete with fashionable fur accessories, an outrageous antler headdress and red accents. Each one of these [fun festive Barbie outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdoh-barbie) retails for $250 and will be sold through the Selfridges London Toy Shop, beginning on November 15th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fantasy-inspired Holiday Toys:** Toy makers can design more holiday toys with a touch of fantasy and glamour inspired by iconic holiday symbols like reindeers. - **Collaboration with Fashion Designers:** Collaborations between toy makers and notable fashion designers can create more fashionable and collectible toy line. - **High-end Collectible Dolls:** Creating high-end collectible dolls with a touch of fantasy and glamour modeled after popular characters and icons can appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Industry:** Toy makers can innovate new products by incorporating more fantasy and high-fashion into their toy designs. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can collaborate with toy makers to design holiday-themed collections that add value to both industries. - **Collectibles Market:** Innovating new collectible dolls with high-end details and fashion inspirations can appeal more to the collectibles market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Doll-Inspired Evening Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazie-4.md) - [Halloween Countdown Doll Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-days-of-halloween-set.md) - [Indian Heritage-Inspired Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anita-dongre.md) - [Iconic Doll-Inspired Formalwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-azazie.md) - [Glamorous Rockstar-Inspired Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-bowie-doll.md) - [Fashion Legend Barbie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie.md) - [Iconic Doll Accessory Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-aldo-2024.md) - [Celebratory Monochromatic Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/65th-anniversary-barbie-signature-doll-collection.md) - [Collectible Mexican Holiday Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-2023-da-de-muertos-doll.md)
