Every year, there are always select hot toys that are in high demand for the holidays. While we can’t quite predict what those toys will be for 2023, we can look back at which hot toys were on the market in 2022. Every holiday season has its fair share of “it” toys — you know, the ones that stores can’t seem to keep in stock.

Believe it or not, Target’s Top Toys, Walmart’s Toy List, and Amazon’s “Toys We Love” List were all printed and released well before November 2022 even started. So as Christmas got closer, your chances of finding these top sellers in stock got even slimmer.

Though we are looking at last year’s toys, it is still a great idea to understand how to get the best deal. Don’t get caught off guard and empty-handed when the hot toys are all sold out. We’ll show you where we saw the best price on all of 2022’s hot toys, including comparable prices at competing retailers.

Check out all the top toy deals you can get right now. Also, download The Krazy Coupon Lady mobile app and set up alerts for your favorite toy brands. We’ll send you real-time updates when the best deals drop.
