Walmart And Toys ‘R’ Us Reveal Hot Toys For Christmas 2017 List
Walmart and Toys ‘R’ Us have just released their Christmas hot toys list for 2017. Both of the retailers are featuring a series of toys exclusive to their respective stores on the lists. Sluggish brick-and-mortar sales may have prompted both stores, along with rival Target, to the release of Christmas must have toys a lot earlier than normal for 2017.
Walmart has already launched its Christmas layaway service. The Walmart layaway program runs through December 11. All items placed in layaway must be priced at $10 or more and the total of items placed on layaway must total $50 or more. Toys ‘R’ Us offers a holiday layaway as well and is promising to price match on all their toys and games.
More than 1,000 new toys, including at least 300 exclusive toys, will be offered by Walmart this Christmas season. A Frozen sleigh, Fingerlings Moneys, a new line of Hatchimals, and a Paw Patrol lookout tower are at the top of the store’s Christmas hot toys list this year, CNBC reported. Approximately 25 percent of the toys available at Walmart for Christmas 2017 will be items exclusive to the store.
Amazon released its 100 top toys for Christmas 2017 list in late August and has vowed to offer steep discounts to online shoppers filling their virtual carts with toys.

Toys ‘R’ Us hired the Kirkland & Ellis firm to help the mega toy retailer address the nearly $400 million in debt that comes due next year. Having a good Christmas season could be make or break time for Toys R Us, which has been impacted by Amazon and online shopping in general, just like Walmart, Kmart, Target, and Sears, have in recent years.
