Kevin the Carrot, star of Aldi’s Christmas advert, has been given his own advent calendar.

And better yet, you can pick up the chocolate calendar for just 79p!

The famous carrot who has taken centre stage in Aldi’s Christmas campaigns the last 6 years was rumoured to be missing for this year’s ad.

Before posting a teaser to the advert which did not include Kevin, Aldi posted on its website: "We know you’re excited about getting a first look at Kevin for 2021 but we’ve not seen him or his family since Christmas 2020.

"If he gets in touch, we’ll let you know. Until then, we’ve put together Kevin’s best bits over the years. So many great adventures."

After days of speculation, the full advert release confirmed that Kevin would be returning alongside Marcus Rashford MBE, guiding Ebanana Scrooge through the real meaning of Christmas.

Each day the advent calendar door opens to reveal a chocolate mould of members of the carrot family.

The chocolate is made from Aldi’s Dairyfine brand, and is Rainforest Alliance Certified.

Aldi’s Kevin the Carrot Advent Calendar is available in stores across the UK now.
