Rarity & Significance
Low rarity; very high production volume. This was one of the most mass-produced dolls in the Happy Holidays series. While it holds high nostalgia for 1990s collectors, the market is saturated with both NRFB (Never Removed From Box) and loose examples.
Special Features
Includes original red beaded jewelry set and velvet hair bow. Dress features elaborate sequin work and high-quality velvet fabric common for the 90s holiday line.
Notable Variations
There is a much rarer African American version of this doll (Model 12156). On the blonde version, variations in hair crimp tightness and slight differences in sequin patterns may occur.
