Something to suit all ages as Tesco announces its most varied Christmas top 10 toys list ever

Toy experts at Tesco predict that this Christmas will be the most varied ever when it comes to choosing presents for youngsters. 

While in recent years expensive electronic or construction toys have hogged the favourites lists, 2023 will see a wide range of toys catering for the very young right through to ‘kidults’ with prices to suit all pockets too!

And as it gets nearer to Christmas there will also be further discounts available for Clubcard holders.

For its annual top 10 list, the supermarket’s expert team have based their choices on the type of toys that have been popular through the year.

And the list includes board games, ever-popular construction toys, as well as pre-school and nurturing toys for the very young.

One toy they believe will be a favourite is a board game inspired by one of the year’s most exciting TV series, Traitors. Just like the TV show Traitors and Faithfuls must go on a mission to earn gold for the prize fund. 

Of course no Christmas is complete without evergreen favourites Lego and Disney toy sets. Those that are likely to be in high demand are Lego’s Harry Potter figure of house-elf Dobby and Disney’s Lorcana Starter Deck trading card game. 

Tesco Toy Category Manager Anne Borrett said:

“Every parent knows that picking the right Christmas toy for their youngsters is one of the hardest decisions of the whole festive season. 

“Our choices, made by Tesco’s team of toy experts, have been carefully considered and are based on the type of toys which have been popular throughout the year and which are likely to make it onto many children’s ‘Dear Santa’ lists.

“This year our top 10 toys are aimed at all budgets but with more than half of them priced at £30 or under we think that’ll be good news for all parents!”
