So who is the new champion? Disney’s Frozen.
The survey revealed that one in five parents (20%) this holiday season plan to buy Disney’s Frozen merchandise for the little girls in their life, beating out the top reigning Barbie (16.8%). LEGO toys are number one again for boys this year (14.2%).
“Barbie has been the top girls’ toy for over a decade, but it is no surprise that Disney’s Frozen has taken the top seat as children have had it on the mind as far back as Halloween,” said Pam Goodfellow, Director of Prosper’s Consumer Insights.
