ALDI shoppers can impress their guests over the festive season with posh vol-au-vents shaped like Kevin the Carrot.
Dedicated fans of the supermarket will know that Kevin is the lead character in the retailer’s Christmas adverts – and they’re obsessed.

Some customers were even seen fighting and pushing to get their hands on Kevin merchandise after queuing since 6:30am on the day they landed in shops.
And a few chancers have even listed the goods on eBay for wildly inflated prices in the hope of making a profit.
So you can imagine our excitement when we spotted these Kevin-shaped snacks.
Vol-au-vents are posh starters often served at parties, which are made from puff pastry with a hollow hole in the middle.

They’re they filled with whatever flavours you fancy – cheese and bacon, coronation chicken and creamy mushrooms are popular choices.
They’re pretty tricky to make it’s ideal that Aldi has already made a batch of casings and all you have to do it fill them.
The snacks, which are new this year, come in pre-puffed packs of eight, and cost 99p. They also come in Christmas tree shapes too.
You could save money on a pack of 18 Jus Rol vol-au-vent cases, which are cheapest at £1.80 from Tesco.
It works out at 10p per case compared to 13p per case from Aldi, but you’ll need to roll them out and bake them yourself first.
A beady eyed bargain hunter shared the deal on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group where it has since received 3,000 likes.
One confused shopper wrote: “What’s a vol au vent when it’s at home? But KEVINNN”, while another said: “OMG how cute are they!”
Unfortunately, they’re not available to buy online so you have to head into a store if you want to get your hands on them. You can find your nearest one here.
While you’re in Aldi, you should check out the retailer’s huge two metre long pig in blanket.
The discounter’s also rolled out HALLOUMI wrapped in bacon as part of its festive menu.
While Asda is selling a foot long stuffing sausage topped with pigs in blankets.
