It's not quite "the most wonderful time of the year" yet, but as the weather gets colder major retailers are already warning parents to start planning their holiday shopping.

All of these toys were featured on Christmas wishlists from stores like Walmart and Toys R Us, and some of them are already flying off the shelves.

1. Teddy Ruxpin 2017
