Learn about the newest toys that your kids can enjoy year-round!
With everything kids have gone through in 2020, they deserve an amazing holiday celebration. Whoopi Goldberg and Elizabeth Werner share the hottest holiday toys this year on "The View."
Star Wars The Child Animatronic
He may look like "Baby Yoda," but this lovable creature is called The Child -- and now you can become his protector with this animatronic toy from Star Wars!
Touching the top of The Child Animatronic Edition's head activates over 25 sound and motion combinations, including happy and excited sounds, giggles, babbles and more, all while the figure's head moves up and down, ears move back and forth and eyes open and close. Boys and girls ages 4 and up can pretend to harness the power of the Force as The Child toy closes its eyes, raises its arm and sighs as if exerting a great amount of energy.

Tonies and Toniebox
Tonies is the original, screenless audio entertainment system for young children. The concept was developed by two dads who were solving a few everyday problems all parents face: too much screen time and no parent-free story-time options.
When paired with the whimsical collection of hand-painted Tonies characters, the Toniebox comes to life with hours of stories to tell, worlds to explore and songs to sing along. Tonies will offer 17 unique characters, including ones from Disney favorites such as "The Lion King," "Cinderella," "Cars" and "The Little Mermaid." Creative-Tonies also come in diverse skin colors (U.S. only) at launch so families can choose a figure that reflects their child.
Tonies $14.99, Toniebox $99.99; US.Tonies.com
Deer Pong
Oh deer! Meet Bucky the Stag, the talking deer who amps up the fun in this funny and frantic race to be the first team to land its three balls in the antler cups.
There will be lots of laughs as Bucky the Stag moves his mouth while he trash-talks players and is entertaining with music and other ridiculous banter. Plus, you can switch to "Joke Mode," to hear his eye-rolling jokes and phrases. Requires three AA batteries, not included. Available at most major retailers.
