Top US Christmas Toys 2015
What toys do US toy stores rate for Christmas 2015?
There seems to be a bit of a shortage of UK top toy lists this year, which is a shame. American toy stores are less shy about their top predictions, however, so we've put a few here for you to compare.
Several toys won't be available in the UK, but the big hitters are all there - Frozen, Shopkins, Paw Patrol, and, of course, Star Wars. Enjoy!
