Only just over four months to go, mamas.

Look, we hear you, mamas – we are also still in total summer mode over in our houses and, to be honest, have barely started thinking about the event that is back to school.

But that is the world we live in, I’m afraid – everything moves with lightning speed and we now have to start thinking about Christmas while we’re still wearing flip-flops and have barely unpacked our summer holida suitcases.

Argos, as one of the major toy retailers come holiday season, has now revealed what toys will be topping every child’s present list for Santa this year – and yes, we know it’s only August, but to look on the bright side, finding out now what will be the most popular toys this Christmas, it might just help you avoid the crazy rush come December.
