We may be in the midst of a heatwave but that hasn’t stopped high street favourite Argos from revealing it’s Most Wanted list of children’s Christmas toys this year.
After all, there are only four short months to go until the most wonderful time of the year - so just about enough time to nab a couple of the store’s top toys to avoid tantrums under the tree.
2020 has been a weird year, so fittingly, Argos’ top 12 toys is a strange mix too: think a defecating flamingo (no, us neither), dancing unicorns and Baby Yoda dolls from Disney’s The Mandalorian and you’re on the right track.
Scroll on to see the desired dozen, starting from the toy that’s likely to top letters to Father Christmas first.
