Tesco Unveils Top 10 Must-Have Toys for Christmas 2025

This year’s selection, curated by toy experts from The Entertainer specifically for Tesco shoppers, promises a mix of trending favourites, nostalgic classics, and budget-friendly options designed to delight children and parents alike.

Movie-Inspired Toys Lead the Festive Charge

Two standout toys are already generating buzz and are expected to top many Christmas wish lists. First is the Elphaba Doll, inspired by the upcoming Wicked: For Good film, set to hit cinemas in November. With its theatrical flair and iconic character design, it’s a must-have for fans of the franchise and young dreamers alike.

Joining it is the Creeper Construction Kit, a creative collaboration between Lego and Minecraft, celebrating the release of the new Minecraft movie. This buildable set taps into the enduring popularity of both brands, offering hours of imaginative play.

Affordable Fun for Every Family

Tesco’s toy list isn’t just about big names—it’s also built with affordability in mind. The Entertainer’s experts have chosen toys that balance excitement, quality, and price, making it easier for families to find gifts that fit their budget without compromising on fun.
