This year's letter to Santa reveal that Lego has lost its crown as the top of children's wish list.

Royal Mail said the traditional toy has been replaced as the most popular item, with merchandise from Disney film Frozen now the favourite, ahead of Lego and bikes which took second and third place respectively.

The postal service said it analysed a proportion of the several hundred thousand letters sent from children - before sending them on to the North Pole - and has compiled a list of the top 10 most-requested toys:

Toys from Disney's Frozen range

Lego

Bicycles

Barbie

Snow Glow Elsa

Tablet devices

Peppa Pig toys

One Direction merchandise

Monster High dolls

The letters have also shown that many children like to ask Santa questions instead of just asking for the latest toy. The most common questions that children asked Santa included what food to leave him on Christmas Eve and whether or not he has a sat nav.
