Vtg 1996 BARBIE Christmas YULETIDE ROMANCE HALLMARK Special Edition Original Box

Third in a series of Barbie dolls designed exclusively for Hallmark.

As the year draws to an end and winter chill arrives, it is time to deck the halls, hang the mistletoe, light the yule log, and send season's greetings to loved ones and special friends. In the romantic spirit of the season, Yuletide Romance Barbie doll is dressed elegantly for the holidays in an emerald green velvety gown. The fitted jacket is trimmed with golden embellishments. Are the matching brooch and ring holiday gifts from her handsome beau? The couple featured in this authentic holiday image seems to have slipped away unobserved from a social gathering in the parlor for a quiet, affectionate moment together. Their gentle embrace is a perfect ending to a sentimental holiday evening. Inspired by this nostalgic time of year, Hallmark's creative staff researched the Design Collections, Hallmark Archives. They discovered a charming greeting card, now the basis for Yuletide Romance Barbie, the third and final doll in a series of Special Edition Barbie dolls created exclusively for Hallmark. The enclosed miniature postcards are authentic replicas of postcards from the early 1900s.

This was part of an adult collector's collection. This beautiful doll has only ever had one owner. The outer packaging is in beautiful condition with just a few dings from normal storage. Please see all photos. Nonsmoking household.
