With only 186 sleeps until the big day , Argos releases list of top Christmas toys, with predicted favourites including Frozen, Thunderbirds, Lego and Barbie gifts
Britain’s largest toy retailer has released its predictions for this year’s top Christmas toy – with six months to go.
The list, compiled by Argos, is dominated by the big and small screen, including Frozen, Thunderbirds and a Tumbling Stuart toy inspired by the film Minions.
Research revealed that almost 90 per cent of children’s toy boxes across the country contain gadgets influenced by their favourite TV shows and films.
The predicted favourites for Christmas include Lego City Deep Sea Exploration, Minions Tumbling Stuart, Nerf Modulus and Real FX, race cars with artificial intelligence.
But many of the 13 toys on the list are similar to those that parents might have played with when they were younger.
With toys such as Tracy Island, Lego and Barbie, 48 per cent of parents said they would be more likely to play and bond with their child – while 10 per cent said they would want to play with the toys themselves.

My Friend Freddy – £39.99

“Toys like the Tracy Island, Barbie and Lego are all stellar examples of how this year’s list crosses the generations, bringing the whole family together on Christmas Day.”
