SHOPPERS are dashing to their nearest Aldi to pick up new Kevin the Carrot Christmas toys after they landed on shelves.<\/p>\n
Following the release of the\u00a0Aldi\u00a0Christmas advert, fans now have the chance to own their favourite characters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And customers are going into a frenzy to get their hands on them.<\/p>\n
One shopper posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, in the early hours of the morning, writing:"@KevinTheCarrot day at
@AldiUK means only one thing\u2026. queuing from half 4 in the morning!<\/p>\n
"The things you do for your kids."<\/p>\n
Another wrote: "Mission accomplished – managed to bag myself a #GoldenKevin too. Thanks to the great organisation @AldiUK."<\/p>\n
And a third said: "Mrs queued up at 4am for this years Kevin The Carrot plush's at Aldi. Absolute mad woman!"<\/p>\n This year shoppers can nab Kevin, William Conker and friends in plush toy form with prices ranging from \u00a32.99 to \u00a319.99.<\/p>\n Fans will even get the chance to purchase a limited edition golden Kevin the Carrot soft toy for just \u00a33.99.<\/p>\n The limited range has proven to be extremely popular with shoppers over the past few years and this year isn't any different.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The new toys have been released in tandem with the new Aldi Christmas advert, which launched last week.<\/p>\n Initially, fans were worried after the trailer for the advert was released and\u00a0Kevin was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n But fans let out a sigh of relief when\u00a0Aldi released a Willy Wonka-inspired Christmas advert and Kevin was finally back\u00a0on TV screens.<\/p>\n Accompanied by grate grandpa, Kevin embarks on his tour of the festive goodie-filled plant, encountering all sorts of mischievous characters on the way – including dancing plumty-dumptys and a spoilt little sprout<\/p>\n The ad concludes with the charming closing message "Seasonal goodwill was truly in the air as Christmas is a time that's sweeter when you share".<\/p>\n You can watch the full ad\u00a0here in our round-up of this year's Christmas adverts.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a full list of the toys that are available from today:<\/p>\n From the November 23, shoppers will also be able to get their hands on an authentic 3D\u00a0Christmas\u00a0mug also inspired by Kevin the Carrot.<\/p>\n Last year thousands of\u00a0Aldi shoppers rushed to buy Kevin the Carrot toys were forced to queue\u00a0on the website and from 4am outside shops.<\/p>\n In previous years,\u00a0actual fights have broken out\u00a0in the aisles as\u00a0parents fought\u00a0to get their hands on them.<\/p>\n Some even bulk-bought the characters and\u00a0took to eBay to flog them\u00a0for much higher than they nabbed them for.<\/p>\n This year Aldi has said it will limit the sale of the toys to two per customer so as many people as possible have the chance to take a Kevin home for Christmas.<\/p>\n Aldi has already revealed a new chocolate Kevin-themed range is available in stores.\u00a0<\/p>\n This includes hollow chocolate characters and ice creams along with the return of the advent calendar with prices starting from \u00a31.09.<\/p>\n You can also join our new Sun Money Facebook group to share stories and tips and engage with the consumer team and other group\u00a0members.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>CARROT BELIEVE IT <\/span><\/p>\n
