Target Just Revealed Its Top Toys of the Holiday Season & You Can Shop Now!
In one of the earliest signs of holiday cheer, Target has (already!) released its list of top holiday toys of 2022, which includes 50 of the best toys that’ll make spirits bright this year. The list isn’t ranked; instead, it predicts which toys will top kids’ Christmas/Hanukkah lists based on popularity. Notably, 61 of these toys are exclusive to the retailer.
In addition, Target will also be expanding its Disney store at Target locations to more than 160 stores, as well as online. So, we guess this is now the happiest place on earth?
