NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pop Insider, the multimedia publication that lets consumers fuel their fandoms 24/7, has unveiled its picks for the must-have pop-culture gifts for superfans of all ages in its third annual Holiday G ift Guide. The Pop Insider's Holiday Gift Guide is full of must-have merch that will delight every fan on your shopping list, from classic faves like Ghostbusters and Star Wars to the latest crazes including Pokémon and Among Us. It features apparel and accessories, collectibles, home goods, tabletop and video games, puzzles and more. The guide launches on the first day of New York Comic Con, where fans can find print copies of the Pop Insider to bring home, or view the full gift guide online at thepopinsider.com.

The Pop Insider’s third annual Holiday Gift Guide features more than 240 toys from 160 different companies. The Pop 20 list highlights the hottest and most-coveted items for the biggest fandoms out there.

The launch coincides with the long-awaited return of in-person events, and the release of new movies and shows after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed highly anticipated content for more than a year.

"This gift guide is our biggest one yet, with a huge selection of the hottest, most unique items that will satisfy any geek on your list. We couldn't be more excited to launch the guide at New York Comic Con's first in-person event in two years," said Marissa Silva, Editor-in-Chief of the Pop Insider.

"We are so happy to finally see a flurry of new entertainment content hitting screens this year and next. Our Pop 20 list and holiday gift guide reflect the excitement for new characters and storylines, while also honoring the longstanding passion fans have for iconic properties that we found ourselves going back to again and again during quarantine," said co-editor Ali Mierzejewski.

This year's holiday gift guide features more than 240 items from more than 160 companies.
