American Girl 2020 Holiday Outfits

by Katie Wallace | Updated: December 15, 2020

The American Girl catalog is a super fun lookbook for girls to browse and make their wish lists. This year American Girl offered many beautiful holiday outfits and winter accessories for both the 18″ dolls and 14″ WellieWishers. The Nutcracker Sugar Plum Fairy doll was the “star” of the 2020 holiday releases. She even sold out in late November. I love that the American Girl brand offers something for every budget, from super fancy sets to individual holiday outfits for both dolls and girls. Which of these American Girl 2020 holiday outfits is your favorite?

Nutcracker Character Outfits

The Nutcracker Mouse King & Land of the Sweets outfits come together in a gift-ready box. The 16-piece set includes a Mouse King costume and Peppermint Dancer outfit.

The Mouse King costume includes a purple velvet jacket with gold embroidery and a velvet Mouse King cape. These coordinate with a fancy white ascot, pair of red pants, black shoes, and white knee socks. An 18″ doll can wear the headband with mouse ears and a gold crown and also hold the plastic sword.

The Peppermint Dancer outfit comes with a red-and-white-striped peppermint leotard. The layered white tutu is detailed with red ribbon. A headband with a red bow and a pair of white satin ballet shoes complete the outfit. Plus, an 18″ doll can hold the oversized peppermint-striped lollipop!

Sugar Plum Fairy Limited Edition Doll

When the American Girl holiday catalog came out, my girls oohed and ahhed over the limited edition Nutcracker Sugar Plum Fairy doll. Apparently many other parents and little girls felt the same. This doll quickly sold out in the midst of holiday shopping. This American Girl 2020 holiday doll is bedazzled with 240 Swarovski® crystals. She’s from the Land of the Sweets and she’s the star performer in The Nutcracker holiday ballet.

The Nutcracker Sugar Plum Fairy has brown eyes and dark purple hair that’s twisted into an elegant hairdo. Her ballet makeup is complete with glitter eye shadow and glossy lips. She comes wearing a purple velour leotard decorated with 225 Swarovski crystals and accented with tulle sleeves. The leotard coordinates with her purple and pink tutu with a silver elastic waistband. She also wears lavender tights and lavender satin ballet shoes.

American Girl spared no details with this doll. She wears a metal tiara decorated with 10 amethyst Swarovski crystals, a ribbon necklace with a star pendant, and amethyst crystal earrings. Her accessories coordinate with her metal heart-shaped scepter, which she can hold.

All that Glitters Dresses

Especially for the holidays, girls can dress up their whole American Girl doll collection in coordinating All that Glitters dresses. These dresses come in sizes for 18″ dolls, 14″ WellieWishers, Bitty Baby and standard sizes for girls. The All that Glitters white dress has a glittery tulle skirt and tulle ruffles at the shoulders. The tulle is bedazzled with gold glitter stars, which coordinates with the gold glitter ribbon at the waist. Gold glitter shoes, a clutch purse and a golden headband complete this outfit.

Sparkling Star Dance Outfit

Almost as glittery as the Sugar Plum Fairy’s costume, my daughter was delighted to receive the Sparkling Star Dance Outfit for 18″ dolls. This super cute outfit shimmers with rainbow sequins on the layered skirt, headband and wristbands. A pink leotard, black crop top and black ballet flats complete the dance ensemble. It’s perfect for dance practice, backyard play or a dance recital on stage.

WellieWishers Winter Outfits & Accessories

Last but not least, girls can have tons of fun in the snow this holiday with the American Girl WellieWishers. These creative friends are often ready for any adventure. The American Girl WellieWishers individual winter play sets include a snow suit, cozy knit dress with leggings and boots, and a snowboard with a helmet and goggles. Each of these snow-themed outfits and accessories fit any of the five 14″ WellieWishers dolls; Ashlyn, Camille, Emerson, Kendall, and Willa.

Although American Girl dolls, outfits and accessories are great gift ideas for any special occasion, they are especially fun to open on Christmas morning. My girls love adding to their American Girl collection, and I love picking out outfits and accessories I know they will enjoy. American Girl offers so many cute add-on sets for each season, it’s hard to choose just one.

Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forwar Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forward with grace, that’s all any of us can do.Lately, I’ve been asking myself some hard questions… especially when it comes to homeschooling.Here’s the truth:I can’t keep homeschooling the way I’ve been doing it.I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense, and I don’t love teaching. That’s not why we chose this path.The real reason we homeschool is because we want our kids to have freedom.🌟 Freedom to learn how to learn🩵 Freedom to discover what they love😀 Freedom to grow in diligence and live out their faith boldlyBut as I wrestle with our present, I’ve also had to face my past.I was homeschooled, too.There were a lot of blessings in that, but also some challenges. I grew up in a conservative environment where the focus was often on sheltering kids. And while I know that came from a place of love, it was hard. Especially as a teenager trying to figure out what I believed for myself.In our family’s younger years, our homeschool rhythm has been pretty relaxed, mostly workbooks and flexible days. But moving forward, things are going to look different.Here’s what I do know about the road ahead (and I’ll share more in upcoming reels):— We’re still homeschooling… just reimagining it.— We’re asking the Holy Spirit to lead our family.— Our kids know the Gospel, and that’s our foundation.— We want to live with intention and boldness.— We’re giving our kids space to try new things while they’re still at home.— I’m praying for a gracious heart when the questions come (because they will come).Maybe this resonates with you. Maybe you’ve felt that tension too, between what you grew up with and what you want to build now.If so, you’re not alone. 🫶🌟(continued in the comments)Follow our journey!

Throwback to a year ago. ❤️ We did it! 🥹😎 I had our baby in Merida MX and with some effort, we got her documents lined up to bring her home. She’s a dual citizen, with double US & MX birth certificates and passports. 🌎🌟It was a great experience! 😌🌄😍 We felt like God was with us, led us through the whole process, and provided for us so tangibly even in the small things. 💗🎬 Watch my YouTube video highlighting what we learned by having a baby in Mexico!🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#digitalnomads #birthingabroad #worldschoolingfamily #adventurefamily #travelwithbaby

Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! 🌎🌟 We’ve learned a lot through our experiences. For example, when arranging a ride to the airport in Cancun, we followed these guidelines ⬇️1. We hired a driver through a company that had good reviews. This gave us peace of mind when traveling 4 hours across Mexico ☀️2. We told friends/family about our travel plans including when we left Merida and when we arrived in Cancun. This gave us some accountability 😃3. Finally, we trusted our instincts. We are continually growing in our travel knowledge and intuition. We often know when an arrangement needs to be changed. Often, we meet very friendly and interesting people!➡️ Would you take your kids on an adventure in Mexico? We had a very positive and memorable experience!! 🌴🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #homeschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily #worldschooling #kidswhotravel
