Earlier this year, we invited DOLLS readers to share photos of their dolls dressed up in holiday finery, and boy, did you deliver! Here are some collectors’ dolls all dressed up for Christmas. And we’re not done yet! Collectors have been so enthusiastic in their responses, we’re going to keep this feature going all year round!

Sara Ahmed: “Hi! My name is Sara, I’m 28 years old and I’m from Italy. In this pic there are two of my dolls: my Icy doll Anne and my Barbie Made to Move. There is also a mouse of Maileg, a Danish brand. She is so cute and she is a princess. In the background there is my Christmas tree. With all these different characters I want to spread a message of diversity, and also everyone can feel happy and celebrate Christmas.”

Donna Bell: “My Barbie is watching a Xmas special for the holidays, with her cocoa and cookies (and a greeting card from Ken). The little TV is actually a music box — a little train revolves around inside it. Cool gift from years ago.” 
Carol Quantock: “These Tonner girls are enjoying their holiday house party with their families. Note the menorah on the mantelpiece as well as the tiny carolers. There’s pizza, wine, soda, cookies, and cake for the guests.” 
April Norton: “Sashka (left) is a 10-inch resin BJD by Dolly Hugs Crew. On the right is a 13-inch resin Little Darling BJD with inset eyes sculpted by Dianna Effner. I did her face-up and at the same time treated and painted her inset eyes. Both of them wear the most amazing original hand-knitted Christmas outfits with lots of beading and accents by the talented Tamara Lipskaya.”
