June 2010 New Specialty Toys — Christmas

Players assign a value to a ticket and collect the face value for each ticket sold. Holiday ticket themes include Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa and generic holiday/winter. The guest who has the winning ticket may be given a gift, while the money collected can go to a charity or to the host of the holiday party — or the guest who holds the winning ticket may be awarded the entire pot of money.

In this holiday party game, the first player to get five of the same yuletide images in a row wins. The game comes complete with 20 full-color cards, 390 snowflake markers, caller chips, a master call sheet and instructions.

In this party game, players scratch the gift tag to receive a holiday fortune or to see if they have the winning ticket which reads, "You will win a fabulous prize at your holiday party." The game includes 20 cards per pack, but multiple packs can be for larger parties.

Snifty Holiday pens are designed to be the perfect stocking stuffer. Available to retailers in a holiday display box of 50, these pens fill the air with the scents of candy cane, gingerbread, spiced apple and sugar cookie. "The scent is embedded in the tip and the grip to create a yummy aroma," International Arrivals Sales and Marketing Liason Kate Fuller told TDmonthly.

This holiday jigsaw puzzle features an apple-cider-themed cover from "Gourmet Magazine." Included in the box with each puzzle are three recipe cards featuring recipes from the magazine that one can make at home. Adam Silver, CEO of New York Puzzle Company, told TDmonthly, "The Holiday Cider Jigsaw Puzzle puts a unique spin on the traditional jigsaw puzzle with free recipe cards based on the puzzle image's theme."

One of the most beloved family tales of all time comes to life in an enchanting combination of live-action drama and animated adventure. It's the story of a young boy named Toby who is sent by his busy father to spend the holiday season in the home of his stern grandmother.

The film is directed by Michael Landon, Jr., features the voices of Jane Seymour, Tom Skerritt and Ellen Burstyn, and was produced based on the best-selling book by Margery Williams.
