Christmas feels different once you have kids. Suddenly it’s not the decorations, the dinners, or even the perfectly staged family photo (though we all try) – it’s the look on your child’s face when they discover something new. The way they tear open wrapping paper with full determination. The excited little gasp when a toy lights up or makes a sound. The pure joy that reminds you what the season is really about. And this year, the 2025 Mattel Holidays celebration brings even more of those moments to life! With twinkly setups, cheerful play zones, and festive activities designed for little explorers, it’s the kind of outing where families can slow down, reconnect, and soak up the magic together. Plus, with up to 20% off Fisher-Price, Thomas & Friends, and MEGA Bloks from 13 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, it’s the perfect time to pick up gifts that spark joy and support your little one's journey. So, if you’ve been wondering what to get your little one this year, here’s your guide to the best playtime picks to make the holidays extra memorable. A Playful Christmas Adventure Awaits We know what you’re thinking: the malls… the traffic… the parking. But trust us, this one is worth it. The Mattel Holidays activation is packed with bright setups, cheerful activities, and plenty of space for little ones to explore at their own pace. No stiff posing, no “smile properly!” pressure – just pure, joyful play inspired by the brands kids already love. It’s the kind of outing where your child is happily occupied, you get to soak in the festive atmosphere, and everyone leaves feeling like Christmas came a little early. Our Top Playtime Picks for a Magical Christmas Shopping for children can be overwhelming, especially when you want something more meaningful than a toy that gets tossed aside in five minutes. Check out our favourite picks! For curious babies discovering their senses: Musical toys and gentle sensory items encourage babies to reach, stretch, roll, and react. Every colour, sound, and movement turns into a tiny milestone without you even realising it. For toddlers who never stop moving: Push toys, walkers, and activity centres help channel all that big energy into confident steps, giggles, and imaginative play. Great for balance, coordination, and keeping your little one happily busy. For problem-solvers and mini builders: Shape sorters, stacking toys, and building blocks offer the perfect mix of fun and development. These are the toys that grow with your child, the same ones you’ll keep finding in different corners of the house because they keep going back to them. For our little engineers and storytellers: Train sets open up a whole world of motion and make-believe. Each track becomes a new adventure, and every play session fuels imagination, creativity, and independent storytelling. Prefer to Skip the Crowds? Festive Deals Are Still Yours To make the season even merrier, Mattel is also offering special holiday promotions across other beloved Mattel brands like Barbie, Hot Wheels, and more – so there are plenty of ways to celebrate and save this season! Now, we know the holidays get busy. Between school breaks, family gatherings, and the usual December whirlwind, not every parent can make it to the Mattel Holidays activation, and that’s completely fine. If you’d rather skip the crowds, you can still enjoy all the festive promos at retailers like Toys “R” Us, The Entertainer, AEON, Seibu, and Parkson. Alternatively, if you prefer shopping online, you can do so on the Toys “R” Us official website or via Mattel’s Official Store on Lazada and Shopee. Because at the end of the day, Christmas isn’t about where you bought the gift; it’s about the joy it brings. So parents, what are you waiting for? You are one thoughtful pick away from making this Christmas feel unforgettable!
