About Famous Christmas Toys

The Christmas toy craze is nearly as old as the modern holiday. The teddy bear was named for President Theodore Roosevelt after a 1902 hunting trip. Barbie debuted in 1959. The Cabbage Patch Kids riots of 1983 made toy shortages a national news story. Tickle Me Elmo (1996) and Furby (1998) defined late-90s Christmas mornings, while Hatchimals did the same in 2016. LEGO, founded in Denmark in 1932, has been a stocking staple for generations — and the holiday ads for these toys are almost as famous as the toys themselves.
