Aldi tease Kevin the Carrot's return in 2025 Christmas ad inspired by iconic festive film
Watch Aldi's Christmas 2025 teaser ahead of the full advert debuting on TV screens at 8.15pm tonight, November 3.
It's nearly the most wonderful time of the year. Even though we have just had Halloween, as soon as it hits November, it's basically Christmas.
With just less than two months to go until December 25, many of our favourite retailers are getting ready for the holidays by officially dropping their festive adverts to really get shoppers into the holiday spirit.
One that has garnered a soft spot for many is Aldi's now iconic Kevin the Carrot that has been bringing festive cheer for the past decade, and he's set to return in a brand new ad inspired by an all time favourite Christmas rom-com.
The budget German supermarket has just dropped a "truly heart-warming" 10-second clip of its 2025 festive spot on social media, but the full advert will drop on TV screens for the first time at 8:15pm tonight, Monday, November 3.
Set to be the first of three episodic adverts dropped by Aldi this year, the first teaser will see Kevin embark on a romantic quest that will culminate in him popping the question to Katie the Carrot.
The festive, snowy scene has been inspired by the beloved 2003 Christmas romcom Love Actually, which stars some of the biggest A-listers in the UK, including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, and Liam Neeson.
In the clip, Kevin arrives at Katie's door to ask Katie the big question with a bunch of cue-cards that many fans will recognise as one of the most memorable scenes from the iconic festive movie.
Their beloved dog Caulidog also makes an appearance with a ring attached to its collar to add to the romantic element, with the full story set to unfold across two additional adverts across the festive season.
Marking his 10th year gracing our TV screens, the return of Aldi's Kevin the Carrot and the teaser for this year's Christmas advert has already gone down a treat with loyal fans on social media who have said it is "just adorable" and "shaping up to be the greatest Christmas love story."
Sharing its teaser on Instagram, Aldi wrote in the caption: "Kevin has a question for Katie… better keep your eyes peeled to see this one unfold."
One shopper gushed: "Just adorable." Another Aldi shopper said of the advert: "Ooh I've gone all warm and fuzzy inside."
Someone else remarked: "Shaping up to be the greatest Christmas love story since Smithy and Nessa, and yes....we're already obsessed."
While another Instagram user simply branded the festive teaser: "So cute."
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “We know how much our customers adore Kevin, and this year, to mark his 10th anniversary, we wanted to bring an extra sprinkle of magic and romance to his story.
