A dog lover and baker, Summer McKinny™ turns her two passions into a business of her own: Waggy Pup Tails™. When her Aunt Olivia visits, she brings along some crafty ideas for Summer’s business, plus her feisty feline, Fettuccine™—a potential cat-astrophe for Summer’s dog, Crescent™! It’s up to Summer to help her pets and people get along before it spells trouble for her new business.

Enjoy hours of play with our Girl of the Year™ 2025, Summer™, an 18-inch doll with strawberry-blonde hair with light-pink ends and blue eyes.

A pair of pink-and-purple ombre eyeglasses, a pink beaded bracelet, a purple beaded bracelet, a pair of sandals with pink-and-yellow straps and turquoise platform soles, and a pair of underwear

High-quality hair

Summer's hair is actually a wig made of modacrylic fibers for effortless styling, long-lasting durability, and endless hair-play fun!

Special accessory

A pair of pink-and-purple ombre eyeglasses adds a new shade to Summer's colorful style.

Signature hairstyle

As if Summer's strawberry-blonde hair could get any sweeter, she's the first doll to arrive with tip-dyed pink ends–and two microbraids.

Finely crafted features

A hand-sculpted face mold captures Summer's bright smile. Her stunning blue eyes open and close, with eyelashes created separately, then curled by hand.

Beautiful bracelets

Summer shares a love of DIY projects with her Aunt Olivia, and these beaded bracelets with charms show off her creative side.

Original outfit

Summer's vibrant patterned knit dress puts her unique style on display. And it's her favorite color: Rainbow!

Careful construction

A new Girl of the Year™ requires multiple years of development. While Summer's story is made for today, her doll is designed to be loved for a lifetime.
