"At Toys"R"Us, it's serious business deciding which toys make the cut and end up on our Holiday Hot Toy List, " said Ariana Gentry, Toys"R"Us President of Play. "Not only is this year's list filled with ultra-hot and kid-approved gifts – but I can personally say that each of these toys are super FUN to play with!"

"For 20 years, we've provided the Toys"R"Us Holiday Hot Toy List to help aspiring Santas plan their shopping lists even before kids write their wish lists," said Richard Barry, Executive Vice President, Global Chief Merchandising Officer, Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us®. "If you want to be a hero this holiday, there's no reason to shop anywhere else. We've got the most sought-after toys including FURREAL ROARIN' IVORY, THE PLAYFUL TIGER, Glimmies™ Glimtern or Power Wheels® Boomerang™ – and dozens of others that simply can't be found anywhere else."

Here are a couple of ways to make shopping this year's Holiday Hot Toy List experience even better:

Price Match – As the biggest (and best) toy store around, there's no need for shoppers to visit multiple retailers just to ensure they're getting the best deal. That's where Price Match comes in. If customers find a hot toy (or any toy, really) advertised at a lower price at another store, Toys"R"Us will honor its Price Match Guarantee. Don't know the details? See here.

New Toys"R"Us "Kids Play Better" Videos – Truth is, parents aren't always in tune with the toys topping kids wish lists these days. To spotlight the hilarity that ensues when grown-ups "attempt" to unbox and play with Geoffrey's Top 20, Toys"R"Us has launched an all-new can't-miss video, with more to come, here.

Hot Toy Finder – New this year, the company's Hot Toy Finder allows gift-givers to pin point exactly where items featured on the Holiday Hot Toy List are located in their local Toys"R"Us store. It's easy: enter any hot toy, along with a zip code, and a map of the store appears showing precisely where and in what aisle the toy can be found.

Free Layaway – Whether looking to stretch budgets, secure must-have toys early or keep big gifts hidden from curious little eyes, Toys"R"Us will once again offer free layaway service this holiday season, waiving the usual fee. Pickup dates and details can be found here.
