The 15 hottest toys this Christmas – and how Swansea kids can win them all
The DreamToys 2025 list is the annual forecast by the Toy Retailers Association of the must‑have toys, gadgets and games that kids will want under the Christmas tree this year.
Selected by an independent panel of toy retailers and toy experts — from small independents to large national chains — the list is described as the most authoritative prediction of what are expected to be the hottest new toys on the high street for the festive season.
Families in Swansea are being offered the chance to win all 15 toys tipped to be the biggest sellers this Christmas, thanks to a festive giveaway at Smyths Toys in St David’s Retail Park.
Paul Reader, Chairman of the Toy Retailers Association, said the competition was designed to bring “seasonal cheer” to families and encourage people to shop locally in the run‑up to Christmas.
To enter, families just need to visit Smyths’ Swansea store before midnight on Wednesday 10 December and scan the QR code in‑store. The winner will collect their prize between Saturday 13 and Sunday 21 December.
