Holly Hobbie & Friends is a series of American animated specials produced by American Greetings, American Greetings Properties and Nickelodeon Animation Studio. It is the first series to star the Holly Hobbie doll, albeit redesigned from her traditional look, and centers on a 10-year old girl from a big city named Holly (the great-granddaughter of the original Holly Hobbie), who goes on adventures in a small country town called Clover with her two best friends Amy and Carrie forming a secret club called the Hey Girls.
According to American Greetings, the intention was for Holly to "look pretty much the same, but with new, contemporary colors and patterns."
The specials aired on both Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block and the separate Noggin channel. The first special, "Surprise Party," premiered during the Nick Jr. block on February 10, 2006. Eight episodes were made in total. A line of merchandise was also made as a partnership between American Greetings and Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products. DVD releases for the specials were released by Paramount Home Entertainment, but later transitioned to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
A video game based on the series for the Nintendo DS released on October 8, 2007.
