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

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).

Mario Lopez Hosts Toddler of the Year Competition Presented by Colossal

And speaking of spotlights… guess who’s hosting? The ever-charming Mario Lopez is joining us to cheer on our tiny contenders and help crown the very first Toddler of the Year. From TV to the red carpet, Mario knows talent when he sees it—and let’s just say, these toddlers are giving leading-role energy.

Toddler of the Year Is a Fundraising Campaign for Toys For Tots

But beyond the giggles, glitter, and snack breaks, there’s a beautiful reason behind all the fun. This heartwarming competition proudly benefits Toys for Tots, helping bring holiday joy to children in need. Thanks to our amazing community—and support from brands like Hasbro—Toddler of the Year is already raising thousands of dollars to help make the season brighter for kids across the country. Every vote helps put toys in the hands of deserving children—and that makes every toddler in this race a real-life superhero.

It’s not just about being cute (though they’ve nailed that too)—it’s about celebrating milestones, creating memories, and making a meaningful impact with Colossal and Toys for Tots.
