Following a two-year absence, Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List is back.

Tru Kids Brands — parent of the Toys “R” Us brand — relaunched Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List for the 2020 holiday season. The curated list from the Toys “R” Us team includes 20 of the year’s hottest toys.

“During this exceptional time, the toy category remains a bright spot as parents and kids look to keep themselves entertained and active while at home,” says Richard Barry, CEO, Tru Kids Brands. “For more than 20 years, Toys ‘R’ Us has delivered the Hot Toy List to help families plan their holiday shopping lists and I’m thrilled to bring it back. Now more than ever, toys are in demand and Toys ‘R’ Us will continue to serve as a trusted source to bring the magic of play to kids and families, allowing them to bond and make lasting memories this holiday season.”

Consumers browsing the Toys “R” Us website are redirected to Amazon to purchase featured toys.

Last year, Toys “R” Us launched two new store concepts at the Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey, and The Galleria Mall in Houston, Texas. Both stores are offering extended holiday hours and socially distant shopping experiences including a meet and greet with Geoffrey the Giraffe beginning Nov. 1.
