Product Reviews by The Experimental Mommy
Mom and Baby Product Review and Giveaway Blog
The weather here in New Orleans has finally gotten colder (we even had to wear a jacket today!), so it is getting easier to find my Christmas spirit! Last weekend, we started shopping for gifts, putting up our holiday decorations, unpacking our winter clothes and breaking out the Christmas music and DVDs.
While our favorites are Rudolph and Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas
“The all-new DVD, “Barbie: A Perfect Christmas” stars Barbie and her three sisters – Skipper, Stacy and Chelsea, whose holiday vacation turns into an unexpected adventure filled with new friends and magical experiences. In the end, the sisters learn a heartwarming lesson that the joy of being together is what really makes A Perfect Christmas! Released November 8th at all major retailers.”
We received the DVD today and my daughters could not wait one more second to watch the movie, so we decided to have a Wednesday night movie before bedtime. The DVD has a runtime of 1 hour and 14 minutes, so I was a bit concerned that it wouldn’t hold the attention of my 3 year old. I was wrong. Very wrong. Both of my girls (ages 3 and 6) loved the storyline and the music. Their favorite parts included the “raindogs” and the snowball fight between Barbie and her sisters!
As a Mom, I liked that the movie showed the importance of family at Christmas and downplayed the idea of receiving material items. Barbie’s two youngest sisters remind me a LOT of my two daughters….they tease each other just like the movie. I was glad to see scenes where the sisters learn to get along and love one another.
As a blogger, it was fun to watch because one of Barbie’s sisters, Skipper, is a blogger, too! It was funny to see Barbie and Skipper talking about podcasts and websites. That’s a far cry from the Barbie of my day!
Overall, both my daughters and I enjoyed the movie! I would definitely recommend it as a gift or stocking stuffer this Christmas for girls who love Barbie and friends. In fact, you can even purchase the Barbie and Sister dolls from the movie exclusively at Target ($49.99)!

As a young girl, I loved everything Barbie! I have such great memories playing “Barbies” with my best friends, Jennifer and Nicole, for hours every.single.weekend. Well, until we decided to cut their hair and our parents banned us from playing together for a while. But, I digress….Now, my daughter loves playing with her Barbies as much as I did many years ago. In fact, Santa was nice enough to bring her Barbie’s dream house last year and she is still playing with it today.
This Summer, Barbie is venturing out of her dream house and exploring the great outdoors! The Camp Barbie line features toys such as a puppy water park, tent (complete with campfire and s’mores) and of course, a super cool “Barbie Sisters Go Camping Camper!“ The camper, who’s wheels really roll, features a pop-up second floor with two hammocks for lounging around, a full kitchen with seating and even a jacuzzi to splash around in!
