On November 8, the holiday windows at the American Girl Place stores will be unveiled!

In all three stores, this event includes a dinner in the cafe, a doll giveaway and the unveiling of a holiday window that features "an American Girl winter wonderland glistening with nearly 200 Swarovski crystal strands and 130 lbs of Swarovski crystal star dust."

In New York, however, the event, which will be hosted by Grammy-award winning artist Ciara, will feature a one-of-a-kind American Girl Holiday Collector doll adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals for guests to see, pose and purchase. The event will also include performances by The Stage School Carolers and Pilar Hill, holiday food & beverages, exclusive photo ops, seasonal crafts, a signature style for girls and dolls at the salon, and special giveaways.

I hope everyone who attends has fun! (And I also hope the holiday collector doll is just a Truly Me with some sparkles, either that or she ends up on eBay...)
