Megan Hansel breaks down the toy trends and sales patterns that will define Christmas 2025 for e-commerce sellers and dropshippers. With the holiday market operating like a tidal wave, Megan shares what modern families are actually buying and how sellers can prepare before the chaos hits. This episode sets the stage with global projections, shifting parent behavior, and the categories that consistently produce high-profit margins.

Megan also offers a grounded look at seller mistakes, from relying on intuition over data to choosing products that are too risky to ship during holiday crunch time. She helps sellers build a Christmas strategy that is both customer-friendly and operationally sound. Doba’s tools play a key role in the conversation: with skills like identifying trends, securing suppliers, and staying ahead of shifting inventory.
