SEATTLE, Oct. 15, 2015 /CNW/ - Today, Amazon.ca released its third annual Holiday Toy List (www.amazon.ca/holidaytoylist), featuring some of this season's newest and most popular toys that are sure to fill the wish lists of children coast-to-coast. The curated list includes hundreds of holiday toys – many of which are from popular movies and television shows including Star Wars, Minions, and Lego. This year's list includes top toys from brands like Crayola, Mattel, Fisher Price, Schleich, Vtech, PlasmaCar and Nerf.

"Children know exactly what's on their wish list, but that's not always the case for the one's buying gifts. With the Amazon.ca Holiday Toy List, we're taking the guesswork out of shopping," said Alexandre Gagnon, country manager for Amazon.ca. "Customers can shop from our selection of hundreds of thousands of toys and have them conveniently delivered straight to their doorstep, saving valuable time and skipping long checkout lines."

Customers are increasingly shopping with their mobile devices. On Cyber Monday last year, Amazon customers worldwide ordered more than 18 toys per second from a mobile device. Shoppers can explore the Amazon.ca Holiday Toy List with the Amazon App, making it easy to find the perfect gift for a loved one. 

Shoppers will also find helpful product information in the customer reviews section including editorial reviews, product recommendations, customer reviews and best sellers. Customers can also quickly narrow and expand toy search results and filter by age, category, gender, price range, brand or a child's favourite character.
