Today, we are going to look at some of the hot toys for Christmas and other holidays 2023. I know this is a theme park-focused blog, but I occasionally do articles like this when I feel they may be helpful to our readers. Many people want to start shopping soon, before items get hard to find.

7. Cookeez Makery Baked Treatz Oven
These are super cute and already hard to find. Hopefully, by the holiday, it will get easier because they are pretty new and may be more readily available in the next month or two.
I think these are going to be popular!
- Cookeez Makery will amaze you and your child when they bake a surprise plush!
- Mix the ingredients to make the dough and shape it into a pet using the included mold and tool.
- Your dough goes into the oven and comes out as a warm deliciously scented plush baked friend!

8. LEGOS
I do a lot of shopping for kids around the holidays and 100% of the time someone asks for LEGOs.
Some of the more popular sets are:
There are also LEGO sets for Star Wars, Marvel, Ninjago, Harry Potter, DC, LEGO Friends, etc. If you are in a pinch and you need something, it might be a good way to go.
9. Magic Whisper Luna
This is fun new plush toy that allows the child to hear the messages in the meows when you press your head against her magic heart. So it uses a special bone conductive speaker. Everyone else will hear meowing sounds while the person pressing can hear the messages. It’s actually kind of neat, and it’s affordable.
Downside, I wonder how many kids are going to run around with the impression of the gem on their forehead.
10. Nerf
Another tried and true, perennial favorite is Nerf guns. When I do toy drives Nerf is another highly requested toy. There are traditional and gel firing options.
