The holidays are fast approaching and perhaps one of the most stressful things about Christmas is whittling down the Christmas list. Many people find it to be a challenge as to what toys to get for the holidays, finding themselves to be mostly clueless in the area.

Toys somehow bring a sense of nostalgia, but toys tend to evolve and can get more complicated as the years go by. While many children tend to have certain gifts in mind when it comes to Christmas, it is important to have a grasp of the hottest holiday toys of 2015. Many of these toys tend to not come cheap, but many would consider these to be an investment.

1. Lego Minecraft Crafting Box

This toy retails at $50. Pop Sugar reports that this is the ideal gift for those kids who adore Minecraft. Lego has long been associated with building blocks of imagination. What better way to incorporate Minecraft and Lego? The set also comes with familiar bricks and figures. Children can unleash their own imagination and build their own creations or follow any of the eight suggestions in the box. There's even one for a diamond pickaxe.

2. Disney Frozen Sing Along Elsa Doll

This doll is perfect for the kid who is still obsessed with Frozen. Queen Elsa sings the iconic song, Let it Go. Your child can also take center stage by singing into the microphone. Sing Along Elsa retails at $40.

3. Girl Scout Cookie Oven

Reminiscent of the EZ Bake Oven of the bygone days, the Girl Scout Cookie Oven combines the goodness of Girl Scout cookies and baking. Kids will be able to re-create the classic goodness of Girl Scout cookies with the workable oven. It also allows cooking time to be faster, and baking to be more fun. This toy retails at $50.

4. Clever Keet

A cheeky take on the parakeet, this may be the silliest addition to the list here. The bird talks, sings, and dances, and interacts with children. It offers the advantages of having a pet bird without the cleanup. There is also a reset button available in case the bird says a few bad words. Clever Keet retails at $60.

5. Viewmaster

CBS says Mattel and Google have teamed up to create a new View-Master that would allow users to experience a blend of augmented reality and Virtual Reality. No longer using the three-dimensional view of its predecessor, users can feel like they are getting an immersive digital experience. Retails at $30.

Getting the best toys shouldn't be too hard this Christmas if one is updated on the trends. These gifts will certainly make one popular this Christmas season. Even better, adults can play with these toys, too.
