If you’re starting to think about this year’s Christmas list, one major retailer has revealed the toys expected to be flying off shelves in 2025, and it’s a mix of beloved characters, interactive gadgets, and creative play essentials.
From pre-school favourites like Bluey to high-tech Lego sets and robotic dinosaurs, this year’s Argos top 20 combines nostalgia, innovation, and entertainment for kids of all ages.
Leading the festive pack is the £80 Bluey Celebration Home Mega Bundle, inspired by the Australian cartoon that has won over pre-schoolers worldwide.
The retailer predicts it will be the season’s most sought-after gift, giving little ones the chance to bring the adventures of Bluey, Bingo, and their family to life in their own living rooms.
Slime continues to captivate young imaginations, with the £10 Gui Gui Single Pack topping the list of affordable stocking fillers.
This “blind box” set is filled with colourful, scented slime and collectible charms, perfect for kids who love sensory play and surprises.
Fans of TV and movies are well represented, with several character-led toys making the top 20.
Gabby’s International Movie Dollhouse (£65), inspired by the Netflix hit featuring a cat-eared girl with a love of “hug attacks” and playful catchphrases, is expected to be a must-have, especially with a film release in October.
Meanwhile, the Wicked World Small Doll Multipack (£24) follows the musical’s 2024 film adaptation, offering children a chance to recreate scenes with their favourite characters.
Star Wars makes another strong showing this Christmas. The £40 Power Crystal Saber allows young Jedi to customise their lightsaber for ultimate intergalactic battles, while the £110 Lego Star Wars Ewok Buildable Figure promises an immersive building experience.
Lego also brings Disney into the mix with the £20 Lucky & Penny 101 Dalmatians Puppies Set, combining collectible fun with creative play.
For dinosaur enthusiasts, the £65 Jurassic World Interactive Hatching Dino delivers a high-tech unboxing experience, with a robotic creature hatching from its egg.
And for kids who loved last year’s hits, favourites like Fat Brain Toys Air Toobz (£140), Hot Wheels Ultimate Dual Dragon Transporter (£55), and Monster Jam Smash & Bash Gravedigger (£50) are back for another festive run.
Other standout entries include the £40 Soccer Dash bot with enhanced electronics and eight game modes, the £130 Instant Print Tablet for creative kids, and the £35 Build-a-Bear Workshop Stuffing Station.
Parents can also find affordable fun in smaller sets like Sticki Rolls (£40) and Little Live Pets Gotta Go Giraffe Gigi (£30).
Chantal Pearce, head of toy buying at Argos, said: “This year’s top toys reflect the dynamic landscape of play, bringing together world-famous brands, beloved movie characters and highlighting cutting-edge innovation.
“It’s also so important for us to tap into the latest play patterns, supporting children’s development through interactive fun and encouraging them to unleash their creativity too.”
