Toddler of the Year to Lead Hollywood Parade – Now That’s Legit

Toddler of the Year is a legit competition hosted by Mario Lopez

You heard it here first: there’s a brand-new crown up for grabs, and this time, it’s sized just right for the sippy cup crowd. Introducing Toddler of the Year—a delightful new spin-off of the beloved Baby of the Year competition, designed especially for our big-hearted, bouncy little humans who’ve aged out of diapers but not out of adorable.

After seeing so many incredible kiddos fall just outside the baby age bracket, our team at Colossal couldn’t bear to leave them out of the fun. So we created a competition just for them—because toddlers deserve their time in the spotlight too (and, let’s be real, they’re more than ready for it).
