Girl of the Year of 2020

After the party was over, American Girl started selling Joss to the public on December 31st. Joss was the first Girl of the Year to be sold on before her year as Girl of the Year started. Besides that, Joss was also the first doll to come with hearing aids. Joss is currently still available to purchase from American Girl.
