The most sought-after toy in California for the 2019 holiday season is the Nintendo Switch.

The handheld game, which retails for about $450 including special carry case, straps and earphones can be played in single and multiplayer aspects. Kids can play everything from Super Mario to Minecraft, on the go, making this one a huge hit across the Golden State.

The most popular Christmas toy in the United States? Nerf Gun earned the top spot.

“If you thought we’d left these bright plastic guns behind in the ‘90s (along with Starter Jackets, Goosebumps and VHS tapes), you were wrong,” the authors of the study wrote. “Nerf was cool when your parents were kids and when you were a kid, and it’s still cool today.”

Nerf Gun was the most popular Christmas toy in 11 states.

Trailing behind the timeless Nerf Gun, the Nintendo Switch was the most popular toy in five states. American Girl Dolls and Play-Doh finished tied for third as the most popular toy in four states.

The Toy Story 4 Buzz Lightyear action figure, Scruff-a-Luvs, Owleez and Barbie Playsets also all earned the honor as the most popular toy in multiple states.

Reviews.org put together the study by analyzing data through Google Trends, specifically looking for the most-searched toys on the platform this holiday season.
