The Hungry Horse pub is making it easier for parents to have a pre-Christmas toy clear out and hopes the heartfelt initiative will help kids avoid a tantrum.

The family pub chain is launching its Christmas toy donation initiative for a third consecutive year. As many families prepare to buy the Top Christmas toys for their children, new research shows that more than two million UK children could go without a single present this Christmas.
