LOL Holiday Present Surprise is out just in time for the holiday season! What is the LOL Holiday Present Surprise you ask? It’s a new, limited edition festive-themed LOL Surprise series, similar to Glitter series and Bling series.
If your little one loves LOL dolls and the holiday season, she will probably like this series. Here’s our parents’ guide to LOL Holiday Present Surprise so you can know BEFORE you buy. Check the price of LOL Holiday Present Surprise on Amazon.
1. It’s an ornament!
We thought we’d start with the best part first…the balls and dolls are ornaments! Imagine having a beautiful tree with some LOL doll balls hanging off of it…
Your little one can certainly imagine!
Holiday Present Surprise balls have a string on top that allows them to be hung like an ornament on a Christmas tree. The balls look beautiful before they are “unboxed” so they are the perfect alternative to a stocking stuffer. If your little one has already unboxed them, they can be rehung since the string is actually attached to the ball and not the paper.
However…
If you want the ball to be hung on the tree as part of your little one’s Christmas present, don’t hang it until December 24th. The anticipation of the hanging LOL ball may be too much for your little one to handle. Buy it now and hide it away until Christmas Eve.
2. The surprise ball packaging is light blue with purple dots.
The ball color isn’t very ornament-y, but the string and glitter details take it up a notch.
If you see balls that have Holiday Present Surprise written on them but aren’t blue, they are fakes. Be very careful as you’re shopping this holiday season because there will be lots of counterfeit products around.
3. The ball features Rip Tide.
This cutie from Series 3 is shown on the ball. If you see any other doll, it’s a fake. There is unlikely to be a series, so this doll should be on all the balls.
4. A bunch of Series 3 favorites are coming back!
So why is Rip Tide from Series 3 on the series ball? Because some of our Series 3 favorites are coming back in holiday versions…
In fact, it’s the entire Swim Club from Series 3.
Holiday versions of Series 3 dolls have completely different outfits from the original versions. For example, Holiday Treasure wears a sweater, skirt, scarf, and ice skates, while Series 3 Treasure wore a two-piece iridescent seashell outfit.
There is glitter on the dolls’ hair, eyes, accessories, and clothes. This glitter will come off on your hands a bit, but it won’t completely come off the doll so she will glitter for Christmases to come.
Dolls in Holiday Present Surprise are NOT the same dolls in the Glitter series or Glam Glitter series. They are glitter versions of other Series 3 dolls.

5. LOL Holiday Present Surprise has 7 surprises.
Just like the Glitter series or Bling series, this series has 7 surprises.
- Secret message
- Bottle
- Accessory
- TINY ELF!!!
- Shoes
- Outfit
- Doll
6. There are tiny elves!
Love Elf on a Shelf?
So do we! So do LOL dolls!
Each LOL Holiday Present Surprise comes with a tiny elf. Each elf is unique to the doll and styled to match. We love that there’s always a little something new to enjoy with each LOL doll series.
7. There are no lil sisters in this series.
If your little one loves lil sisters, she’s out of luck with this series. There are no lils in this limited edition series. That’s okay, though…
The big sisters are so gorgeous and festive, they offer enough cuteness.
8. No cool unboxing.
We’ve been a bit spoiled by cool doll containers and unboxing experiences. LOL Holiday Present Surprise is keeping it simple, so there’s no cool unboxing.
Once your little one unwraps the ball, she’ll see that the ball has 2 halves: one clear and one holiday color.
While this may seem like a letdown, it’s actually highly functional. LOL Holiday Present Surprise balls are ornaments, remember? The ball only splits in half so you can easily put it back together. One half of the ball is clear so the doll can be put inside and hung back on the tree using the ball string. She’ll glimmer like tinsel and make your Christmas tree super fun and LOL-rific!
9. There are 6 dolls in LOL Holiday Present Surprise.
These Series 3 beauties are part of the series:
- Rip Tide
- Waves
- Vacay Babay
- SPF Q.T.
- Treasure
- Precious

Where to Buy LOL Holiday Present Surprise
This series is limited edition so it’s going to be hard to find. We’ve outlined our favorite places to buy online and in stores. If you’re outside the US, we’ve provided a couple of suggestions as well.
Where to Buy Online
ALWAYS check to see if you can buy an LOL series online BEFORE braving traffic, wasting gas, and traveling from store to store. Our favorite place to buy is Amazon, of course. Here’s why:
- Fast, free shipping
- Competitive prices
- Improvements to fight counterfeiting
If you are going to buy on Amazon, keep in mind that Amazon only guarantees products that they sell, so you should look for LOL products that are shipped and sold by Amazon. Listings are often consolidated, so only take the counterfeit comments seriously if NOT sold by Amazon.
One great thing about buying LOL dolls this year is that Amazon has taken over a lot of the selling of LOL Surprise products to stop price gouging experienced on previous Christmases.
LOL Holiday Present Surprise sells for about $10. Check the price on Amazon and, if it’s close to this, get it!
Don’t like Amazon? No problem!
You can also buy dolls on Walmart.com and Target.com. Keep in mind that Walmart.com does allow third-party sellers on its site. Be sure to look for the seller’s information to make sure you are buying it from Walmart directly. Third party sellers may sell counterfeit products and usually have higher than retail prices.
Can’t find the LOL Holiday Present Surprise on Amazon, Walmart, or Target website?
Try these online retailers instead. A lot of people don’t think about them when shopping for LOL products online, so they may have stock.
- Barnes and Noble
- Best Buy
- Gamestop
- Virgin Megastore
Where to Buy in Stores
If you EVER see LOL Holiday Present Surprise in stores, buy it! It won’t be there when you come back. In fact, buy two. You can always give one away or sell it on the many LOL doll Facebook groups.
You probably know all the typical retailers that sell LOL dolls. Here are some stores you might not have thought about:
- Virgin Megastore
- Cracker Barrel
- Gamestop
- Walgreen’s
If you want to try Walmart or Target, be sure to check online FIRST. You will be able to see if the LOL Holiday Present Surprise is in stores near you using the in-store pickup search option. Read our complete guide on how to do this on Walmart.com. You can even order it online to be picked up in-store when you do your weekly shopping.
Where to Buy Outside of the US
In the UK and Europe, try these retailers (online FIRST then in-store) for the LOL Holiday Present Surprise.
You can also try your country’s version of Amazon. You should be automatically redirected if you go to Amazon.com.
Not sold in your country? If your little one has her heart set on getting this series, you can order it on any site and have it sent to your country using Shop & Ship. You’ll have to pay extra for shipping from your Shop & Ship address to your home address, but you can get free shipping to the SS address with Amazon. You should also get faster shipping than if you ordered internationally directly from Amazon.
