The supermarket has, of course, brought back fan favourite character Kevin the Carrot and his daughter Chantenay. This year the pair have lost their ‘Cauli-dog’, a pooch made from cauliflower, and are putting out posters to find him. Cauli-dog (which appears to be both the dog’s name and species) is described as ‘friendly, but nervous around cheese’. Eagle-eyed viewers saw the lost poster included Kevin’s number, 03335775577, which you can actually call. Unfortunately, you do get Kevin’s voicemail, which states he’s unable to answer as he’s out searching for his pet.

What on earth has he been eating?’ Thankfully, Cauli-dog is found in the advert as one poster was helpfully placed on Father Christmas’ letterbox. Aldi aren’t the only ones with an elaborate advert, with the likes of Wallace and Gromit joining Barbour and the Muppets teaming up with US supermarket Walmart.

Instead of giving them money, she takes the cash out of the card and transforms an entire room in her home into ‘Gran Cave’ where they dance to music and seemingly have a wonderful Christmas.
