We all remember being a kid at Christmas. You’re filled with such excitement, joy, and anticipation. You make your list of the most popular toys for the big guy, leave out cookies and milk for him, and hope when you wake up Christmas morning, that your most favorite toys on your list are under the tree. You most certainly are up before your parents and rush downstairs to take a peek at what you’ve got. Then you rip into the presents with such anticipation that you are going to find exactly what you want. And when you do, it’s so thrilling.

Now as a parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle, you get to be Santa’s Little Helper shopping for all of the toys that the elves couldn’t make themselves. But that task isn’t always easy. Especially on days when the lines are out the door, the stores are a mess, the shelves aren’t stocked, and everyone’s dashing for the most popular toys.

I’m a parent and one of Santa’s Little Helpers so I know all about this! That’s why we’ve created a list below of some of the most popular toys for Christmas in 2023. The best part, you can snag these right from the comfort of your home in your PJ’s. Tell me what is better than that? Give the kid in your life the joy and excitement you remember as a kid by getting their favorite toy this holiday season with items from our list below. They’ll think you’re the greatest ever and you’ll be sure to stay on Santa’s good helper list.
