There's actually alot of countries where its pretty warm during Christmas. Australia, the Caribbean, various South American countries, etc. so the beach theme is nice to me, its different. Where I live its always hot.
Finally an advent calendar the Australian children can enjoy because it's summer themed. I would have loved a summer themed calendar as a kid, I was so confused when everything was about snow and the cold during Christmas as a younglin. Hopefully they sell these down here
As someone who cares nada about high fashion, I'm always drawn to cuts, silhouettes and whether it looks flattering on the doll which makes it so funny when you say "it's out of date etc." cause I'm like "so? it looks nice" x'D Love your videos, just makes me feel really out of touch!
Yeah like I can only afford expensive like top brand clothes if it’s on sale or at Burlington so most of my clothes are definitely out of date yet they still look good on me and that matters most.
Knowing how MGA uses packaging, it's really fun to think about what a rainbow high advent calendar or even an omg calendar would look like. It'd think it'd be similar to how barbie does it, but having the last surprise be a rip off of the front portion to show like a wardrobe or clothing rack, and the doll could be an icy type doll and be the better Gabriella.
You are soooo much fun! Always making unboxing so much fun with your expressions, comments and overall style! Thank you! Mattel released some budget this year! Nice! Would be indeed nice to have some christmas/winter elements, like a scarf, a sweater, some boots, instead of the many bags...but I think this would be too expensive.
I'm surprised to see that this one is actually not that bad, I was already expecting something like from the 2020 in the terms of quality but this one is quite nice. I do love her jacket the most and that black shoes along with the necklace and the orange dress combination. Pretty amazed at this one after how many cheap attempt I've seen from Barbie lately, quite refreshing although the theme is pretty off with the actual purpose.
I think the fact that the fashion is summer-themed means that hopefully, the child will not get bored of the doll after December. This is the right way to go.
I don’t get it why everyone hates those plastic accessories? When we were little kids with my sister, we treasured these tiny little pieces of plastic so much because they were opening so much possibilities to play. Omg I remember little dishes, champagne glasses, necklaces and omg shoes, there was never enough of shoes 😄
Barbie is having Christmas in Hawaii this year, thus all the beach stuff. There is a Color Reveal advent calender for this year, and it is Winter themed.
Maybe it’s supposed to be like a sort of Holiday getaway like when you go to Disney World it’s summer over there yet they still treat it like Christmas anywhere else
I'm a brazilian person, i'm from the Southern hemisphere, and here christmas is on summer so... i think is fair that we can have the spotlight on us too, our version of christmas.
Joey love the look of horror on your face when you say 'the beach in December' 😅😅...you've obviously never had a boiling hot Christmas in Australia, where it's so hot it'd melt your sunglasses right off 🤣!!! Love the advent calenders...just wish rainbow high would do one...as I was typing this you just said it..omg, great minds think alike !!!! That'd be awesome😄. Always love watching your vids 👍
the summer theme is perfect for us here in Australia . The advent calendars' and decorations we get here are all snow themed so its nice to see an advent calendar by Mattel that shows our season of Christmas
I liked the 2019 version of Barbie Christmas advent calendar and i kind relate this version of a summery vibe me and my family always went to the beach everytime my aunt comes home from U,S, every Christmas btw NICE VIDEO ❤️
I just started watching your RU-vid channel! I have a wonderful Barbie collection, mostly Disney and Fantasy Dolls. Some of my absolute favorites are Van Gogh's Sunflower Barbie, The Rose Barbie and the Fairy of the Forest!
Summer Christmas Barbie is awesome actually. Really different. I think they want to distance themselves from saturnalia and get a bit more of a Latino vibe to barbie. She's even tanned. Notice that the same happened to OMG and Rainbow High.
The best items are the orange/pink dress and the black jacket. I bought the 2019 Advent Calendar Barbie in mid December on clearance at Aldi. I paid $12 for the whole set that was originally $30.
I'm a North American viewer and I love your channel. I know that a lot of people can't relate, but I can. You have more American viewers than you know about.
There's a color reveal wintery advent calendar with a lot of cute little pieces!! A silver dress, fuzzy pink sweater and a fabric scarf and hat. Check it out! :)
I was just gonna say it's so hot here in Australia Christmas day we usually put the sprinklers on the roof and next to where we eat lunch, cos its all outside on the veranda lol
Well Christmas happens over summer in the Southern Hemisphere so it's very Christmas-y actually. Going to the beach is a popular Christmas event in South Africa as well.
Christmas isn't in winter all over the world though, so having a summer themed Christmas Advent calendar is great. I live in South Africa and Christmas in winter is odd to me.
Why the beach you ask. Obviously this is Barbie spending Christmas in Malibu. 😎 Nothing odder than seeing palm trees and cacti wrapped in Christmas pine and holly branches. But, it happens for Christmas in Southern Cal!
I loved! I feel represented. I also spend Christmas at the beach. We enjoyed the holiday of Jesus' birth with the whole family on the coast. In the region where I live here in Brazil, as is the vacation period at this time. We stay until New Year's parties. Eu amei! Sinto me representado. Também passo o Natal na praia. Aproveitamos o feriado do nascimento de Jesus com toda a família no litoral. Na região onde moro aqui no Brasil, como é o período de férias nesta época. Ficamos até a festa de ano novo.
it feels like mattel has a bunch of extra materials by the end of the year that they just throw into these and they turn out garbage every year. i’m honestly surprised mattel has survived this long dressing barbie in the same leopard print outfit that doesn’t match with 40 small plastic accessories that no child would care for (I wouldn’t have anyway) and no articulation. It’s a shame because I love barbie and I just wish they would do better.
Yes ! This whole advent calendar is seriously very sad and just thrown all together bc of budget reasons and they had extra stuff. No cohesiveness what so ever ! Very sad of Mattel !
Well, summer is also appropriated for Christmas, since Christmas is on summer in many countries, including mine. There's no hot chocolate, sweaters, snow, cold weather, etc... it is beach and sun EVEY YEAR!
I know it must be wired having a summer Xmas but here in Australia that’s what we have, ive never seen snow so that would be a first form me happy holidays
I've asked for a couple of the rainbow high slumber party dolls....they're so cute but a liiiiitle too pricy, so my dad can buy them lol. Also the holiday Rapunzel doll from the Disney Store
Omg I just got rid of all my Barbie purses too much hard plastic lol,and it’s kind of weird the put out a summer themed advent calendar for Christmas haha
Barbie it’s a rich girl, she probably won’t be spending her Christmas in a cold place. She might go to Brazil, or the Caribbean. I think it would be nice if each year the change the “theme” so her advent calendar it’s about traveling, maybe next year it’s Japan or India. It would be really cool
I feel like having it feature so many summer accessories is a real missed opportunity. That should have been festive wintry holiday Christmasy items and lots of red and green!!
I agree, the box gives too much away. I would like to leave some as a surprise because HELLO it's Christmas Yeah, not a painted-on top!!! ♥ The beach bag, could have been usable (is that how you spell it) to stuff a towel in or something. Yuck stop with plastic junk and cheesy animals. Those shoes are like Stilettos♥ Love the necklace ♥ I would rather have liked more shoes than bags, she needs some earrings to go with the silver shoes and orange dress.
Maybe she’s having Christmas in Australia ! It’s not a bad theme - the accessories are actually kind of cute! It’s just so disappointing the lack of articulation in dolls now. RIP 70s-90s barbies🌈💜🥰
