These Toys Are the MVPs of Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List: Holiday Shopping Made Fun (and Hilarious)
Ah, the holiday season — when parents brave the chaos of shopping malls, online carts overflow, and kids craft wish lists longer than a CVS receipt. This year, Macy’s and Toys “R” Us® have made our lives easier (and way more fun) by unveiling Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List for 2024. With over 150 toys to choose from, there’s something for every kid — or kid at heart — this holiday season. Here’s the inside scoop on some standout picks I personally tried (for, uh, “research”), guaranteed to score you major cool points.
Remote-Controlled Chaos: Sharper Image Motor Battles & Team Battle Racers
Why settle for one remote-controlled car when you can have two that fight each other? The Sharper Image Motor Battles Remote Control Team Battle Racers are like bumper cars with lasers — because, yes, you can actually shoot your opponent’s car and make it spin out. It’s competitive, hilarious, and surprisingly cathartic. I may or may not have beaten my kids (in the game, of course).
Dancing Groot: Because Who Doesn’t Love a Funky Tree?
For Marvel fans and anyone with a pulse, the LEGO® Marvel Dancing Groot is an absolute must-have. This little guy doesn’t just stand around looking adorable — he dances! Building Groot was almost as fun as watching him bop, and let’s just say he’s now a permanent part of my holiday décor. Bonus: it’s an instant crowd-pleaser for family gatherings.
Start ’Em Young: Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Sit & Steer Driver
For the littlest drivers in your life, the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Sit & Steer Driver is the perfect way to keep their tiny hands busy (and your sanity intact). It’s educational, interactive, and guaranteed to make you laugh when your toddler starts “driving” like they’re on the New Jersey Turnpike. Spoiler alert: their road rage is adorable.
More Toys to Love
If you’re looking for even more inspiration, Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List has something for everyone. From Barbie’s Mini BarbieLand Playsets to Pokémon Elite Trainer Boxes and even the exclusive Geoffrey Christmas Tree Funko Pop, the options are endless. Whether you’re shopping for toddlers, teens, or the nostalgic adult who still loves Hot Wheels, Toys “R” Us at Macy’s has you covered?
Why Shop Toys “R” Us at Macy’s?
Besides the epic toy selection, Macy’s is rolling out Toy Champions — actual humans trained to help you pick the perfect toy.
