Last updated 12th Nov 2021
From Barbie to Star Wars, experts have given us the official top 12 list of the dream toys that kids will want this Christmas.
The Toy Retailers Association has announced which toys are set to be most in-demand this year, with big-name brands like Hot Wheels, Pokemon and Lego all making the list.
There are also some brand new creations included that are sure to keep the kids occupied on December 25.
Most importantly for parents, the price range is pretty reasonable, with all the toys on the list ranging from £10.99 to £69.99.
See the list of what toys are expected to be most popular this year:
Barbie™ Dreamtopia Rainbow Magic™ Mermaid
It's Barbie, she's always a popular choice. This one comes with rainbow hair and a mermaid tail that changes colour in water, so it's brilliant for bath-time.
Price: £24.99
Bluey Family Home Playset
Bluey's from the animated TV series on CBeebies and Disney+. This toy is definitely in the doll-house category, and complete with 10 accessories so the kids will be occupied for hours (most likely).
Price: £39.99
CoComelon Deluxe JJ Interactive Doll
This toy is a large doll, that's also a boy! That will see a lot of young lads set their sights on this one. You can feed him, while he also sings songs and makes cute baby giggle sounds. That means it could get annoying, but come on - It's for Christmas!
Price £39.99
Gassy Gus
Gassy Gus is the only game to make it into the top 12, so if you want to get your kids something other than a plain old toy that's still popular, this is the one! Players take it in turns to inflate Gus's stomach, with him letting out a big fart and a chuckle when he gets too full. What's not to love?
Price: £24.99
Hot Wheels® Massive Loop Mayhem™ Track Set
It's Hot Wheels, it's colourful and it looks awesome. There's nothing else to say.
Price: £54.99
Jurassic World Slash 'n Battle Scorpios Rex
This action figure will be massively in demand after the Jurassic Park franchise's big recent reboot. Younger kids who haven't seen the films will still love it because, well, it's a dinosaur.
£31.99
Piggly from Little Live Pets
Piggly would be an adorable addition to Christmas this year. It squeals and snorts and has a very cute little trot. Any little one who fancied their own pet would love this.
Price: £24.99
L.O.L. Surprise! Movie Magic Doll
Packaged in small round balls, each LOL doll has ten surprises, including a secret message, 3D glasses, a fashion outfit and a movie script. This one is all about anticipation, and kids will love not knowing which doll they'll get.
Price: £10.99
A Magic Mixies Cauldron
If you're looking for something a bit more impressive, this is the winner. Kids can mix potions and create a magical creature. It's guaranteed to be a success.
Price: £69.99
Chase's Deluxe Transforming Vehicle from Paw Patrol
This is going to be pretty popular for fans of the show. For those kids that aren't (are there any?), you can push the car's spoiler to reveal a projectile launcher that will shoot discs at the press of a button. It's a certain hit.
Price: £44.99
A plush toy of Pikachu from Pokémon
This 8" plush Pikachu is super soft and perfect for bed time. Plus, it's Pikachu - everyone's favourite Pokemon.
Price: £13.99
from LEGO Star Wars
No top toys list is complete without Star Wars or Lego - this one combines the two. It's a model of the best part about the latest Star Wars craze, Boba Fett's ship from The Mandalorian. This one will go quick from shelves, and it's a great one for family time.
Price: £44.99
