2025 Holiday Doll
Gift Guide
The Dollhouse Project curated this year’s holiday guide to make it easier for families to discover dolls that reflect real children in all their diversity. Each pick supports our mission to expand representation in play—across race, body type, ability, and interests—so every child can see themselves as the hero of their own story. These toys were chosen deliberately to encourage belonging, confidence, and joyful imaginative play.
