I would absolutely love for Wizards to announce some of their 2023/2024 slate, but that is so outside of what we're used to with them and I don't want to get my hopes up for it.

They'll definitely talk a lot about Dragonlance though, that's a given!

Yeah, the issue is that D&D products have a 13 month development cycle, per Ray Winninger, which means that what is coming out next Summer and Fall is in early, early development, and even early year profucts are in rough shape at best. Whereas what's coming out for Magic through the end of next year is pretty set in stone and almost ready to go to print aside from fine-tuning.

I think this calls for a dance battle.

I expect there will also be more announcements for the D&D movie (maybe D&D TV shows too) and BG3.

Yes, I am hoping we will see a trailer for the D&D movie!

I like the idea of D&D LEGO MiniFigs!

My theory is a new "Book of the Vile Darkness" or the confirmation of Dark Sun. I would advice DS to be published before the summer, because it is harder to imagine adventures in the hot dessert while you are in autum or winter.

Partnership between Hasbro and LEGO? Possible, but this is only speculation.

A new D&D book based in M:tG? Maybe but I guess it should be one of the planes published in the same year.

Traditionally Book of Vile Darkness and Book of Exalted Deeds had mature ratings so I doubt they will release new versions although I can see a book having them as magic items.

LEGO Optimus Prime is official.

Those "books" as artifacts within the story could appear in some module. The suplements were written "for mature ratings" but there are worse things watched by 13y children. They were "a Disney cartoon" next to "Kult: Lost Divinity", for example.
