There are exactly six weeks to go until Christmas and thoughts are starting to turn to getting the perfect presents for family and friends.
So parents will be interested in the Toy Retailers Association’s annual roundup of what’s most likely to be requested from Santa.
The DreamToys Christmas list is an authoritative prediction of what are expected to be the hottest new toys on the high street this festive season - and is the only list selected by an independent panel of toy retailers and toy experts, from small independents to large national chains.
Chair of the DreamToys selection committee, Paul Reader, said: “More so than ever before, this year’s DreamToys list shows the incredible variety of experiences and play the UK’s vibrant toy industry has to offer consumers.
“This research shows a healthy market and the importance of toys to both children and the parents gifting them each Christmas. It’s also heartening to see that trust in the high street, and seeing toys for yourself, is still of great importance to parents across the country.”
“The DreamToys list includes exciting interactive toys, new versions of family favourites and something for all the family, from preschool up to adults, with a diversity that reflects the many tastes and trends that define the UK’s toyindustry today.”
Here’s the top 20, in alphabetical order.
