Mattel Made Gorgeous Anna and Elsa Collector Dolls to Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of 'Frozen'
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Frozen was first released in theaters on November 19, 2013, which means — and it's almost impossible to believe — that this year marks its 10th anniversary. Which is great for the Frozen fan in your life, because there are so many great 10th-anniversary toys and gifts hitting shelves to mark the occasion.
Whether you're shopping for someone who's been singing "Let It Go" from the beginning or need something for a new fan of the franchise, these are the best Frozen gifts to buy in 2023. Most of them are gifts for kids, since the adventures of Elsa and Anna still have a hold on them even a decade later. But there are also some ideas for adults, in case Frozen fandom in your house is a family affair. There are plenty of dress-up items, building toys, pleasing plush and stories that'll keep them imagining new adventures in the kingdom of Arendelle. After all, the holidays are the perfect time to revisit their icy adventures (though these toys will still be popular, as Olaf says, in summer).

How we choose the best toys
Before including our favorite picks in an article, the Good Housekeeping Institute does rigorous toy testing to ensure we're recommending only the best. Many of our choices come from our yearly Toy Awards, where we test each item based on the following criteria:
✔️Safety: Our engineers and analysts make sure that each toy reaches all safety standards. They also assess things like pinch points and make sure toys won’t shatter into small pieces to pose a potential choking hazard.
✔️Ease of Use: We look at each toy to evaluate how simple it is to assemble, how well it’s constructed and how durable it is during play.
✔️Kid Approval: Aside from testing each toy for skill-building attributes, like how well it develops social-emotional skills, all our final decisions come from more than 100 children, ages 1 to 15, who assess the fun factor!
Why trust Good Housekeeping?
For decades, the Good Housekeeping Institute has provided expert reviews and advice on everything parents and children love, including STEM toys, educational toys, sensory toys, board games and outdoor toys. While not all of the selects on this list have been specifically vetted by our experts, Marisa LaScala, Good Housekeeping's senior parenting and relationships editor, has scoured the internet and spoke with tweens and teens for the other top-picks. Marisa has covered all aspects of the world of parenting, from the postpartum years through the empty nests, since 2015, and she's pitched in with Good Housekeeping's toy coverage since 2018. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter, who has seen Frozen approximately ten jillion times. Marisa even started a round of applause at her local cinema during Frozen II, right after "Lost in the Woods." (You're welcome, Alamo Drafthouse crowd.)
