About Top10Christmas.co.uk
Top10Christmas.co.uk is the UK’s festive archive of the official best-selling Christmas toys, tracking the DreamToys lists revealed each year by the British Toy Retailers Association. Since 2008 we’ve captured the toys that defined each Christmas, and today we continue that tradition with fresh comparisons, reviews, and savings for families across the UK.
In September 2025 the site underwent a major overhaul, bringing a brand-new design, expanded comparison features, and in-depth reviews. For long-time visitors, our original 2008–2020 content is still available in the legacy archive, preserving over a decade of Christmas toy history. You can also learn more about our journey in the History of Christmas Toys page.
Our live archive covers the most recent years, including Top 10 Christmas Toys 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Each list captures the toys every child wanted, the brands that made the headlines, and the products that became instant sell-outs.
We’re not just a look back—we’re also a price comparison website designed to help you find the best deals today. From Christmas Toy Deals to Cheapest Christmas Toys, we scan trusted retailers so you can save money on this year’s must-have Christmas toys. For more about how we operate, see How We Review Toys.
Our Archive & DreamToys Legacy
Every November, the British Toy Retailers Association releases its official DreamToys list, showcasing the toys most likely to top Christmas wishlists. At Top10Christmas.co.uk, we’ve been capturing those lists since 2008, building a one-of-a-kind archive that reflects how playtime has changed over the years. From interactive pets to blockbuster movie tie-ins, the DreamToys reveal sets the tone for what parents rush to buy—and what kids unwrap on Christmas morning. Discover more in our Christmas Toy FAQs.
Over the years, the DreamToys picks have reflected changing trends in childhood play. In the late 2000s, LEGO sets, robotic pets, and character dolls dominated. By the mid-2010s, technology crept in with tablets and app-connected play. Today, lists are often split between nostalgic revivals—like Hasbro’s Furby—and cutting-edge experiments such as AI-powered interactive pets. This evolution makes the archive fascinating: it’s not just a list of toys, but a mirror of family life across two decades.
The DreamToys announcement is covered widely by the media, including trusted outlets like the BBC and The Guardian, because it sparks the official countdown to Christmas shopping. Our role is to preserve those annual picks, add clear reviews, and—most importantly—help you compare prices across the UK’s leading retailers so you never overpay for the toys your children love most. See our Press & Media page for coverage highlights.
Helping Families Compare & Save
We know Christmas can be expensive, and that’s where our price comparison service makes a difference. Instead of hopping between retailers, you can use our guides to check value instantly. Whether you’re looking for the cheapest Christmas toys, exclusive Christmas toy deals, or trusted stockists listed in Best Places to Buy Christmas Toys Online, we bring the options together in one place. For related resources, visit our Useful Links page.
Parents often tell us that our comparison guides have saved them hours of searching—and sometimes even Christmas itself. When shelves are empty in high street shops, our links often point to retailers who still have stock at fair prices. This means families can avoid being caught out by scalpers or last-minute panic buying. For grandparents shopping online or parents working to a tight budget, that reliability is invaluable.
By blending history with practical comparison tools, Top10Christmas.co.uk is both an archive and a live savings guide. Families return to our site each year to see which toys made the must-have list, to compare prices quickly, and to grab bargains before the shelves empty in December.
Toy Reviews You Can Trust
Price is only part of the story. Parents also want to know whether a toy is built to last, offers real play value, and delivers on the Christmas morning wow factor. That’s why Top10Christmas.co.uk publishes in-depth toy reviews alongside our comparison service. Each review blends product details with real family feedback, giving you an honest look before you buy.
Some of our most popular reviews include the festive comeback of Furby, the colourful unboxing fun of the Barbie Pop Reveal Assortment, and the innovative Bitzee Interactive Pet. These reviews help shoppers cut through the hype and focus on toys that genuinely bring joy. Explore more in our Most Popular Christmas Toys hub to see which products families are raving about this year.
We also provide coverage of collectible crazes, construction kits, and educational toys from leading brands. Whether it’s Mattel’s Barbie range, LEGO blockbusters, or creative sets from VTech, our reviews show what makes each toy stand out and whether it deserves a place under your Christmas tree. To see how we assess these products, visit How We Review Toys.

Our annual round-up Best Christmas Toys 2025 brings together this year’s DreamToys picks with our own reviews and price comparison.

Thousands of families use these guides every season to plan their Christmas shopping. Some bookmark us for early predictions in September, while others rely on our last-minute deals in December. However you shop, our mission is the same: to make Christmas magical without breaking the bank.
