Whether you’re giving or getting, when it comes to the holidays, it’s all about making the list! Here’s the mamachallenge’s Holiday Hot Toy List 2017!
Thank you to so many of these sponsors for making this list possible! And to Good Morning Texas for featuring some of their favorites.
And don’t forget to enter to win many of these hot toys below.
Let’s start off by saying this time of year my kids really come in handy.
Best Board Games
That’s right – how else do you think my research panel really works? By asking the pros (i.e. the kids) to let me know their thoughts (and put it together) that’s how I REALLY find out how cool (or not so cool) the new toys each year will be. And this year we’ve been hard at work…especially to find some monkeys that sound like they should be potatoes and hamsters to serve us burgers. (Don’t worry, we’ll explain.)
I’m a huge fan of buying a board game for the kids each year. It’s like a stocking stuffer, but it’s also something for us to do together on Christmas and is helping to build their own library of games when they get older and have families.
Shark Bite by Pressman
This is a fun game for the littles and best of all, doesn’t need batteries! It’s like the Go Fishing game we used to play but sharks! It’s easy to get rolling quickly and easy to play!
Soggy Doggy by Spin Master
Of course the kids will like it, Soggy Doggy is the game of getting wet by your Soggy Doggy while he takes a bath! Another game that’s perfect for all ages and doesn’t take forever to get the idea of how to play!
Ship of Treasures by Pressman
I love this game because it was created by two 5th grade girls who won the Chicago Toy and Game Fair’s Young Inventor Challenge. They created the playing pieces to look like themselves, used the box as part of the game, and 10% of profits go to the Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago in honor of school mate who died of cancer.
UltraDash by PlayMonster
It’s a game that gets them moving – and isn’t that what we need!?! Easy to work, easy to put together, three modes, and many ways to play! Get them to Ultra Dash with this fun and inexpensive way to exercise while having a great time playing together.
YULU SpyCode Operation: Escape Room
Taking off from the escape room craze, SpyCode Operation: Escape Room brings the fun home to you. “Lock up” your friend and then complete challenges to get them out!
Monopoly Special Edition Gamer
Gamers normally play their games on a screen, but this version of Nintendo’s Mario Bros. comes as the classic game of Monopoly; complete with figurines of the characters and coins instead of cash. If you have a gamer on your list but don’t want to give them another cartridge to add to their list, this is the game for you! 
The New Thing!
Zuru Hamsters Ham’s Burger Diner
Every season their are the must-have toys on the list that you wonder what makes this swoon – the Zuru Hamsters is one of 2017 must-haves! Part of the Hamsters in a House set, the newly released Hamsters in a House Food Frenzy let’s Ham (one of the 11 collectible Hamsters) take over his own diner with lots of fun as he zooms through his diner. Yep, hamsters, food and fun is the name of the game – and they’ll love it.
L.O.L Surprise!
Talk about a gift that’s going to make them go wild! Just like unwrapping any gift, there’s a buzz of anticipation and that feeling of, oh-my-goodness, what’s going to be inside?! L.O.L. Surprise!

WowWee Fingerlings
Wonder what gift is making parents everyone sit in lines and pay big dollars to make sure there’s one under the tree? The Fingerlings are 2017 MUST HAVE. This interactive monkeys respond to sound, motion, and touch with blinking eyes, head turns, and silly monkey babble. Blow them kisses and they will kiss you back! Hang them upside-down by the tail and watch them monkey around! Pet them to sleep or make a loud noise and watch them get excited!

The ZFlyte makes it fun for the kids to take care of their stuff with a combo suitcase and scooter in one. Several characters available for travel made fun.

Interactive STEM/STEAM Toys
Disney Princess Dance Code Belle
I love a good princess story, but one that also teaches my child codding, now that’s a tale I’m happy to create. Disney Princess Dance Code Belle uses the 10 dances already included or you choose to use an app, you create Belle’s next move with easy choreography though coding. She sings, she dances, and she makes it all fun!
Project Mc2 Smart Pixel Purse
My purse can do a lot of things, but light up with designs isn’t one of them. But this one is. Featured on the Emmy nominated Netflix original series, the Pixel Purse is the ultimate accessory for the Nov 8 agents’ next mission. This real purse comes pre-programmed with over 10 animations for easy out-of-the-box play or customize the multi-color LED display with your own designs or phrases using free iOS and Android app.

Hasbro furReal Makers Proto Max
My kid told Santa he wanted a puppy for Christmas. Thankfully I found Proto Max as the answer. The furReal series is so FOR REAL as you use easy coding on an app to create your puppy and then all of his movements, reactions, etc. He moves, he expresses and reacts with his feelings, and changes colors for the perfect pet you don’t have to clean up after. We already named ours Sweetie Baby.

BMW Z8 Ride-On
This is the ride we wish we could all zip into the drive way! The BMW Z8 Ride-On from Dynacraft is what the cool kids are driving even when they’re under four foot tall. This car has an authentic BMW Z8 look and emblems, realistic interior detailing, working headlights and Mp3 input and cord for your kids to Jam out to their favorite tunes while driving!
Dynacraft Black Ice eDrifter
Dad, this isn’t supposed to be for you, but once you put it together, you might change your mind. The electric drive wheel powers the eDrifter to drift a full 360 to 720 degrees just like you’re on black ice. Like a motorbike this sturdy vehicle (designed for kids 13 and up), has tubeless tires with PVC drifter sleeves and goes 12 miles per hour.
Now get shopping, Christmas is just around the corner!
Ready to win?
I’d love the Little Tikes carriage for my 2 year old daughter.

Any of these fun toys would be a fit for my 6 Grands! The 4 girls especially need help with their Christmas presents. Their dad, my son in law, is a full disabled vet. And mom, my sweet daughter, holds two jobs. They still fall short. But I try to do the same for all my Grands not just the girls. (I have one boy, the youngest. They range in age 13-5).
I saw you and your son on GMT this morning and was so curious about the dog in the bath game. Looks like it could get messy. Lol. And messy usually comes to Gma’s house. Lol. But after looking it up and reading about it on here I so want to get one for my Grands to play with at my home.
I’ll try and enter all your giveaways. How cool would it be to show up with that motorized trike on Christmas Day for EVERYONE to ride??
Merry Christmas.
I’d love to win any or all of these gifts for my grand daughters!
I wasn’t able to enter for all gifts?? Is there a problem with the site or my computer?
This was so much fun to look at! I haven’t heard of most of these toys. I hope I win one of them. My children would be so happy to receive such a cool toy for Chistmas as we probably won’t be able to afford most of the items listed. Maybe we will get lucky!!!!
The the princess carriage, BMW, or the Black Ice edrifter are AMAZING!!!!! The Belle doll! Omg! The pixel purse-wow!!
