Every year at Christmas time there seems to be one must-have toy that everyone is scrambling for. Only a handful of parents will be lucky enough to get these sought-after toys in advance. The rest will be scrambling the week before Christmas to get their hands on the best Frozen doll there is. People get in a frenzy over the most popular toy (and it sometimes it even results in awesome Black Friday fist fights between people with terrible priorities).

If you haven’t gone out and gotten your hands on a Snow Glow Elsa yet, the clock is ticking and you better get a move on! If you don’t get one, just wait a week and you’ll probably get it 50% off anyways. (Your kids may not know the difference.)
