The pumpkins haven’t even been delivered to most grocery stores yet, but last week, Walmart released their list of 25 “Must-Have” toys of the 2017 holiday season. The retailer, who uses kids to rate the toys for the list, publishes their annual list early every year to give shoppers a chance to grab the toys that their little ones will undoubtedly most hope to receive.
Anne Marie Kehoe, vice president of toys at Walmart U.S. says, “With a little over three months until Christmas, we want to help parents get ahead of the holiday hunt for the hottest toys and find the best deals. We narrowed down hundreds of toys to the top 25 we know kids will love…but this is just the start. We never stop looking for the hottest toys – ever! You can count on us having the latest trends at the best prices throughout the season.”
Without further ado, here are the toys that might end up on your kids’ lists this holiday season:

For shoppers looking to get a head start on holiday shopping, Walmart also announced the return of its popular layaway program to help customers stay on a budget or pay over a set period of time for their toys and other gifts. To avoid the mad rush on the most popular toys for the holiday season, consider shopping early and keeping receipts in case you need to return or exchange.
