The heart of the Christmas shopping season is here, and BestToys has published its Top 25 Toys for Christmas 2016 based on updated reviews, sales figures, demand, and news reports.

1. Hatchimals

At the top of our list is the Hatchimal.  The Hatchimal has proven to be the hard to find toy for Christmas 2016.  SpinMaster, the manufacturer of Hatchimals, reports more Hatchimals will be available in November, but our prediction is that they will not last long on the shelves.  Check out a review of the Hatchimal on Hot Christmas Toys.

Zoomer Chimp comes in at number eight.  The newest product in the Zoomer line-up, the Zoomer Chimp will be a great addition to Zoomer team.  The Zoomer Chimp moves like a real chimp, allowing you to play with him and train him to do new tricks.  Your elves that are from five to ten in age will go bananas for a Zoomer Chimp this Christmas.

9. Selfie MIC

11. LEGO X-Wing Fighter

An honorable mention goes to the LEGO X-Wing Fighter.  Being edged out by just a fraction of a point by the Code-A-Pillar, we thought it was only fair to include the number eleven toy is this listing.  LEGO is always a Christmas favorite for the elves eight and above, and this Star Wars LEGO will be a favorite on Christmas morning.
