Patrick Kielty revealed that the most magical episode of the long running chat show would once again happen on the first Friday on December.
With the help of Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland’s, Star, he confirmed The Late Late Toy Show is on the 5th of December.
And of course applications for the series are open for performers and toy testers now open.
This year, The Late Late Toy Show is officially on the move!

In the lead-up to the most beloved night of the year on Irish television, the Toy Show team are hitting the road to discover the next generation of young talent – from toy demonstrators to performers and proud county representatives.
Host Patrick Kielty is gearing up for another unforgettable night, promising mischief, mayhem and magical moments on Friday, 5 December 2025.
Patrick said: “Last year’s County Parade was one of my highlights of the Toy Show. The pride in the jersey and the standard of performances meant there was only one thing we could do -and that’s bring it back, bigger and even better this year. I can’t wait to see what fever dream fun comes our way in December!”

Auditions for the Toy Show will once again be held in Cork and Galway, as well as Dublin.
