Trending Christmas Toys for 2026

Every year a few toys take over kids' wish lists. For Christmas 2026, consider character toys, collecting, building and screen-free audio. These are ideas to explore, not a verified bestseller ranking.

• Be careful with third-party sellers when a toy is scarce.
• A trending toy is a great 'one big gift'; add a timeless toy too.

Make the list easy for everyone

Once you have a few ideas, help your child write a free letter to Santa with Pip, then share a private wish list so grandparents and Helpers can coordinate without doubling up.
