Aldi reveals date that viral Kevin the Carrot Christmas toys return to UK stores this week

Aldi has revealed the long-awaited date that its viral Kevin the Carrot toy range will be back in UK stores for the festive season.

We can’t deny it now, it’s officially ‘that time’ of year again.

The shelves of supermarkets nationwide are filled with festive food, drink, and gifts from top to toe, Christmas adverts are being released thick and fast, and Manchester Christmas Markets are now officially open and spreading seasonal cheer right across our city, so it only seems fitting that Kevin the Carrot will soon be making his return.

Aldi’s unofficial – or you could say official at this point, let’s be honest – Christmas companion has become an absolute fan favourite over the past few years, appearing on the majority of the retailer’s Christmas adverts and being turned into different themed products and merchandise along the way.

By far the most popular of those themed products has to be the Kevin the Carrot plush toys, which have been known to have shoppers queuing outside their local stores on release day.

Bound to sell out almost as soon as they hit the shelves once again this year, Aldi has now confirmed the date Kevin will be back.

Kevin the Carrot will be returning to the Specialbuys section in the legendary ‘Middle Aisle’ with an assignment to “make this the best Christmas possible”, according to the retailer, from this Thursday (14 November), and shoppers will be able to collect all the characters from this year’s Aldi Christmas advert.

The Christmas Plush range starts from just £2.99 each, and includes Kevin himself, alongside his pal Katie, “like you’ve never seen them before”.

You’ll also be able to get Humbug plushies, little tree decoration plushies, and also the new ‘My Pal Kevin the Carrot’ too, who has long arms and legs and is described as being “the perfect Christmas companion”.

Shoppers looking to get their hands on the Christmas Plush range are being advised to “act fast”, as with all Aldi Specialbuys, it’s a case of “once they’re gone, they’re gone”.
