It’s officially holiday toy list season. While the industry waits for The Toy Insider’s annual Hot 20 and Holiday Gift Guide, dropping on Sept. 12, retailers continue to release their own lists.

Walmart’s 2023 Top Toys List features 55 picks, almost half of which are under $25. Top brands included in the list include NERF, Barbie, LEGO, Spider-Man, and more. 

“The holiday season is just around the corner, and Walmart is ready to help our customers plan ahead and save even more for all the kids on their list,” says Brittany Smith, Vice President for Merchandising and Toys for Walmart U.S. “Like every year, Walmart is the place to find amazing deals on an incredible assortment of the most popular toys. Not to mention we offer our customers the easiest, most convenient ways to shop in stores and on walmart.com, delivering a joyful toy shopping experience like only Walmart can.”
