This series was one of the most (if not the most) popular of all time. Many began their Barbie collection because of this series and many collected only this line. Many girls received a "Happy Holiday" Barbie each year for Christmas. Since the end of the Happy Holiday Series in 1998 there have been Holiday Barbie Dolls every year, but there has not been a continual series like the earlier one. In 1999 the Holiday Barbie was called Millenium Princess, in celebration of the new millenium. From 2000 to 2002 the Holiday Barbies were the Celebration Series. In 2003 the Holiday Barbie was called Winter Fantasy. Since 2004 they have been called Holiday Barbie.
