And to make the present even better, 44-year-old Mike said his boy would love it if they were spilt all over the floor.
The England rugby legend, who has three children with The King's niece Zara, revealed his youngest son's Christmas wish in a new podcast.
Speaking on Mike had been giving fellow rugby star James Haskell a tip on what to get for his baby daughter Bodhi.
"I tell you what you can do – just get a bag of frozen peas, because that's all that Lucas wants," he admitted.

"Pull the freezer open, bag of frozen peas, pour it on the floor.
"He's got a playroom full of stuff – not interested.
"Go to the fridge, take all the milk out, try and crack the bottle, spill it all on the floor… That's all you need to get [Bodhi]."
James, who shares Bodhi with wife Chloe Madeley, took Mike's idea on board but is also considering one of his own.

He said: "100 per cent for the next two years, she's getting a box wrapped in wrapping paper and with wrapping paper in it and she can pull it all out herself."
Mike and Zara - who is currently 20th in line to the throne - are also parents to Mia, eight, and Lena, four.
On Christmas Day, they are expected to travel to Sandringham Palace to join fellow Royals in celebrating the first festivities since Queen Elizabeth II's death.
King Charles and The Queen Consort Camilla have invited large numbers of those dubbed “The Loyal Family” to Sandringham for the day.
Along with Mike and Zara, Prince William and Kate, both 40, and their three children are expected to attend, along with Princesses Beatrice, 34, and Eugenie, 32, plus their husbands and children.
Camilla will have her son Tom Parker Bowles, 47, and daughter Laura Lopes, 44, at the table for a royal Christmas dinner for the first time.
Disgraced Prince Andrew, 62, and his ex-wife and former royal outcast Sarah Ferguson, 63, have also been given the nod for the Norfolk gathering, along with Prince Edward and Sophie and family, and Zara's mother Princess Anne.
But Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, have apparently not made the cut and will remain the US.
During his time in the jungle, Mike made the odd revelation about life as a Royal.
While chatting to the campmates, the sportsman even confessed to flashing his pants at Princess Anne.
Recalling wife Zara Phillips’ 30th birthday bash, Mike told Babatunde Aléshé that he did a "slut drop" on the dance floor.
But he went on: “Ripped my trousers, straight in front of her.

"It happened to be that my boxers I had on at the time said, ‘Nibble my nuts’.”
Mike has since launched his own mini-range of budgie smugglers that say 'nibble my nuts' to raise money for charity.
