Summary
- Barbie's new Hanukkah doll features a light-up menorah sweater.
- The doll is part of Mattel's popular 'Ugly Sweater' collection.
- Barbie's creator, Ruth Handler, was Jewish, adding historical depth.
This year's holiday season is enhanced by the release of a new Barbie doll celebrating Hanukkah. The 11-inch doll showcases a festive, light-up menorah sweater, a standout piece from Mattel's "Ugly Sweater" collection. Available for under $30, the doll has quickly gained popularity.
The doll's accurate depiction of the menorah, a detail often missed in popular culture, has been noted by social media users. This release also carries historical significance, as Barbie was co-founded by Ruth Handler, a Jewish inventor. Barbie continues to be a dominant brand, selling approximately three dolls every second.
The Hanukkah Barbie follows recent successes for the brand, including the popular Lenny Kravitz "Kenbassador" doll. With Hanukkah approaching from December 4th to December 12th this year, the new doll is an ideal festive purchase before it sells out.
