Carrot fever first swept the UK in 2016 when Kevin made his Aldi screen debut and his popularity has grown in the year’s since.
Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi UK said: ‘Kevin the Carrot has well and truly rooted himself as a national treasure, with demand for the plush toy range increasing each year.
‘As a result, we have expanded the Kevin the Carrot range, ensuring even more of his fans get a chance to take him home this Christmas.’
