Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial Instruments
Hasbro uses foreign currency forward contracts and zero-cost collar options to mitigate the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. These over-the-counter contracts, which hedge future currency requirements related to purchases of inventory, product sales and other cross-border transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the business unit, are primarily denominated in United States and Hong Kong dollars, and Euros. All contracts are entered into with a number of counterparties, all of which are major financial institutions. The Company believes that a default by a single counterparty would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Hasbro does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and zero-cost collar options to reduce the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. All of the Company's designated foreign currency forward contracts and zero-cost collar options are considered to be cash flow hedges. These instruments hedge a portion of the Company's currency requirements associated with anticipated inventory purchases, product sales and other cross-border transactions in 2019 through 2022.

At September 29, 2019, September 30, 2018 and December 30, 2018, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:

Undesignated Hedges
Intercompany Loans
The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of changes in the fair value of intercompany loans due to foreign currency changes. The Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts as changes in the fair values of these contracts are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the intercompany loans.  As of September 29, 2019, September 30, 2018 and December 30, 2018 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $308,867, $311,331 and $452,773, respectively.
At September 29, 2019, September 30, 2018 and December 30, 2018, the fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The Company recorded net gains of $10,121 and $16,705 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 29, 2019, respectively, and net gains of $5,030 and $8,781 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, substantially offsetting gains and losses from the change in fair value of intercompany loans to which the contracts relate.
eOne Purchase Price Hedge

As described in Note 1, during the third quarter of 2019 the Company hedged a portion of its exposure to fluctuations in the British pound sterling in relation to the eOne acquisition purchase using a series of both foreign exchange forward and option contracts. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and as such, were marked to market through the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 29, 2019, these derivative instruments had a total notional value of $2,867,500 and a net fair value of $8,676 of which $20,145 is recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets and $11,469 is recorded to accounts payable and accrued liabilities within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company recorded pretax net losses of $25,533 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 29, 2019.
