A Jolly Walk Down Toy Lane: Santa Reminisces About the Last Few Christmas Toy Crazes
Ho ho ho! Santa here, with a warm mug of cocoa and a smile as I think back on the past few Christmases. One of my favourite things about the holiday season is seeing the Popular Christmas Toys that everyone gets so excited about. Thanks to my friends at The North Pole Times, I always know what’s trending. So, let’s take a little stroll down memory lane, shall we?
1. The Fidget Craze
A few years ago, there was a fidgeting frenzy, with spinners everywhere! Kids loved these clever little gadgets that kept their fingers busy and helped them stay focused. I must admit, I tried one myself (though I’m better at making toys than spinning them!). These toys certainly earned their place on Santa's Nice List — fun and practical!
2. Collectible Toys
Next, we saw the rise of collectible toys like LOL Surprise! dolls and Hatchimals. There’s something magical about finding a little surprise inside a toy, and children couldn’t wait to see what they would get. It was wonderful to watch kids swap and trade their treasures, and it’s no surprise these made the Nice List!

3. Interactive & Tech Toys
The last few years have also brought a surge in tech toys — from smart robots to interactive pets. These clever gadgets have made a big impact, with children enjoying all the tricks and features they can control. Even I was amazed by how advanced some of these toys are! And yes, they all made it to Santa's Nice List.
4. Classic Toys That Never Go Out of Style
Of course, some toys never lose their magic. LEGO sets, board games, and stuffed animals are still as loved as ever. Whether you’re building a castle or playing with a cuddly friend, these timeless toys will always be a hit at Christmas. And they’re always on the Nice List!
As we look forward to the next Christmas season, I can’t wait to see what new toys will capture your imagination. No matter what’s popular, the true magic of Christmas lies in giving and sharing joy — and that’s what makes it all special.
Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a wonderful toy-filled year!
