Every holiday season, there’s at least one popular toy kids hope to find under the tree – and CTV News spoke to a toy expert for some of the top toy picks.

Last Christmas, the hot-ticket purchase was Hatchimals. It was a challenge to find one in stores – this year’s popular product is Fingerlings.

Ryan Carr with Mastermind Toys said stores get a lot of calls for the toys, that go for $19.99 retail.

“I think our stores across the city are getting dozens of calls a day for Fingerlings,” Carr said.

Carr gave CTV News a rundown of some of the popular toys that might show up on wish lists this season.

Karen Butler said she’s been looking for the toys for months.

“I’ve been looking for Fingerlings since the end of September,” Butler said. Last year, Butler said she couldn’t find Hatchimals, and she knows she may not find what she’s looking for this year.

“We’re so fortunate, we have so much more that some kids won’t have this Christmas, and so not to have a Fingerling would not be the worst thing.”
