Here are 2022’s 45 Hottest Holiday Toys on Kids’ Wish Lists

With close to 1,000 Christmas Wish letters submitted, here are the 45 most asked-for items kids are obsessing over this holiday season. Now is the best time to get the best deals in town if you plan to shop this weekend.

Have you always wanted to help Christmas Wish and didn't know how?

It's been a very difficult year for many of our neighbors, and that's why we want to help bring the Christmas spirit into their homes. There are so many ways you can help in the Christmas Wish mission. We have close to 1,000 wish letters in the system (11/2/2022), so we have a good idea of what toys are the hottest. If you're out shopping on Black Friday watch for sales on items children are asking for most this holiday season.

Below are the top toys that have been requested so far. Because we know what we've purchased throughout the year, I've added a note to let you know which items we are low on and need the most. Last year we handed out over 30,000 toys, hundreds of winter jackets, gloves/mittens, and hundreds of diapers to put it all in perspective.

CLOSE TO 1,000 CHRISTMAS WISH LETTERS RECEIVED TO DATE

Before we get to the hottest toys, the trend with this year's letters is alarming. 70% of the letter submissions are asking for clothes. 25% are asking for simple things like socks and underwear. Many are just asking for personal hygiene products. In my seven years as the director of Christmas Wish, this is the most requests I've seen. We offer new winter coats to any child that needs one but only supply clothing if we have some on hand. We focus more on toys for children and a Christmas meal for the family. If you can donate socks, underwear, or pajamas it would be greatly appreciated.
