Every year, a fresh batch of Christmas toys hits the shelves, and kids eagerly add these new items to their Santa Claus wish lists. However, with such a wide variety of toys available, it can be challenging for parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to decide which ones truly stand out. How can you be sure that a toy is of good quality, and won’t just end up neglected in the corner of a room? Toy industry insiders shed light on the trends and top picks…
These experts are at the forefront, observing trends, testing new products, and exploring innovative designs, thus they know what’s likely to be a hit during the holiday season. In 2025, several trends continue to captivate the market, with dinosaurs still popular as ever (Spin Master’s Secret Hatch Dino won the 2025 Toy Grand Prize in the “Interactive Companion” category). Other hot items include themed toys, board games, collectibles, and ‘kidult’ toys, which are particularly popular this year. Of course, there are also timeless choices like dolls; for instance, Corolle, celebrating its 45th anniversary last year, introduced three adorable baby dolls named Margaux, Suzanne, and Perle, dressed in festive colors. Another standout this year is the Sky Trails set from Playmobil, which allows for constructing gravity-defying tracks.
Top Three Holiday Toy Picks of 2025
According to toy industry professionals, certain items are expected to shine this holiday season. A survey conducted by Yoganoel and La Revue du Jouet, which included responses from 21 specialty stores, highlighted the top three star products. Leading the pack is the LEGO Game Boy, perfectly aligning with the kidult trend. In second place is not a specific toy, but rather a theme: Lilo & Stitch toys are expected to be a massive hit. From this collection, the interactive Stitch plush from Just Play has earned accolades at the 2025 Toy Grand Prizes. The third top item is the Toniebox 2, a storytelling box that continues to captivate children, offering a wonderful screen-free entertainment option. Other narrative devices like the Yoto speaker, Lunii, and Lexibook are also popular among the young ones.
It’s also worth noting that the standout toy of 2025 is the LeapMove gaming console by Vtech, which operates without a controller and captures players’ movements. It introduces kids to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and even incorporates memory and physical fitness games. It won two awards at the Toy Grand Prizes: “Toy of the Year 2025” and “Best Educational Console”. Lastly, if you’re still searching for the perfect gift, consider creative toys like the Doodle Copy from Canal Toys to teach drawing skills, a chess set from Wilson Games to start young minds thinking strategically, or various role-playing toys…
