Millennium Barbie and Happy Meal Version (January 2000)


 

The Millennium Barbie, released by Mattel in 1999 to welcome the year 2000, was a glamorous commemorative doll dressed in a shimmering silver-and-blue evening gown with a faux fur stole, symbolizing the excitement of the new millennium and continuing Barbie’s tradition of special-edition holiday and milestone designs. In January 2000, McDonald’s offered its own Happy Meal version of Millennium Barbie as part of a promotional toy line, featuring a small, child-friendly figurine styled with similar silver accents and festive party attire; though simplified for durability, this mini doll captured the celebratory theme of the original collector edition and became a nostalgic keepsake from the turn of the century.
