When I was a kid, Christmas was my favorite time of year.

I'm of the age where we would get the massive Christmas Catalogs, and every day after school from Halloween until right before Christmas was spent looking at the pages and circling things that I wanted Santa to bring me. For the first six years of life, I was an only child, and let's just say that Santa was less generous once my little brother became a part of the family.

However, looking back on all of those Christmas mornings, only a few gifts really stand out.

One year, I got a Frogger mini arcade game, which I was addicted to. Then there was the Honda Trail Bike that had been refurbished. I received a Casio Ironman Watch one year that I was especially proud of, and then there was the year that my brother and I received the classic Nintendo. Of course, you would have to blow into the bottom of the cartridge to get them to work, or so we thought.

What are this year's popular Christmas toys?

What about this year? What are the kids of Montana hoping Santa leaves under the tree? I had to do a little research, and because I don't have kids, I'll be honest, I was very unaware of the more popular toys.

Maggie the Highland Cow is very popular this year, as is the Nintendo Switch 2. Then there are the hands-on toys like Lego and Magna-Tiles. Plus, tech is always a big deal, so phones, laptops, tablets, etc. Apparently, the Labubu plush figures are a big thing this year, as well as the more traditional gifts like Barbie and Ninja Turtles.
