Toys R Us Reveals Top 14 'Must Have' Christmas Toys For Kids

Yep, it's that time.

Toys R Us has released their annual prediction of the top toys for kids this Christmas.

The children’s retailer has picked 14 toys they believe will dominate Christmas lists. 

As usual there are classics, including LEGO and Star Wars merchandise, but there are also a few newbies.

“Parents have a great selection of toys to choose from this year,” said Mike Coogan, marketing and eCommerce director for Toys R Us UK.
