American Couple Reacts: UK's Kevin The Carrot Christmas Ads, FIRST TIME EVER REACTION! Who Is He?

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

We have NEVER HEARD OF KEVIN THE CARROT! We don't have these UK Aldi Kevin The Carrot Christmas Ads here in the USA. And our biggest question after watching these? WHY NOT? The UK has some pretty amazing adverts and we are feeling the lack of entertainment here in America with our stale ads these days. If this video doesn't get you into the Christmas spirit, we don't know what will! And that FOOD!? We don't have ANY of that food here in the States! The British Christmas dinners are SO DIFFERENT to our American dinners! We LOVED this episode and we're sure you will too. Thanks Kevin for putting us into the Holiday mood!

Christmas traditions was bought to the uk by Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert he introduced the Christmas trees to the nation all other Christmas traditions were adapted from charles Dickens...and our own traditions added

[@Sheffield_Steve]

15:57 That's an ABSOLUTE rip off of the Coca Cola Xmas ad! 💯🫣

[@Sheffield_Steve]

My Mum absolutely adores Kevin the Carrot, I remember when they first brought out the toys, I bought Kevin, Katie & the kids for her one Xmas! I might see if there's any new ones for her? 🤔🙂

[@Sheffield_Steve]

23:49 The line about "How would Katie explain to the kids?" That really hit home, reminded me of our first Christmas without our Dad, it was hard & hardly felt like celebrating. My sympathies to any family who is spending their first Xmas without a loved one. ♥️💯

[@jessgunn6639]

When you finally visit you have to go around Xmas so you can go to a pantomime! Thats basically what these ads are based on, so if you loved these you would adore the Xmas pantos

[@alysoncaddick6344]

I'd forgotten how good some of the earlier Kevin ads were! We had a guest from Boston, USA, visit us just before Christmas, so we gave him a traditional Christmas meal. A few things amazed him. Our roast potatoes, maple syrup roasted parsnips, and Christmas crackers which he'd never even seen before. He wanted parsnips every day during his stay and took all of the little gifts from the crackers home with him. It was lovely to share our traditions.

[@simonbairstow122]

OMG prepare yourselves ladies, I predict you will soon be recieving a plethora of Kevin plushies in your PO box. xx great video as always.

[@grendel1960a]

the truck overhanging the cliff- same ending as the classic italian job with michael caine.

[@tonysmith6940]

I was going to mention that lol

[@JanetYoung-f3q]

When Kevin appears we know it's that time of year again

[@sarahcarrette2193]

Traditionally you leave out a mince pie (or maybe a slice of Christmas cake), a glass of something alcoholic (co-incidentally it’s always whatever your Dad likes drinking ; ) and a carrot for the reindeer. In the morning there would be an empty glass, crumbs on a plate and the carrot would have a big bite out of it!

[@davidcridge6072]

Kevin’s Paris Olympic ads are worth a look also

[@DavidCalvert-mh9sy]

I was OK until the "I see dead parsnips" line. From that point on I was captivated and couldn't stop laughing. Thankyou so much for finding this compilation of adverts.

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

So funny!!

I shop in aldi every week and never heard of Kevin, as I don't like adverts so adverts make me say ok you have got in way of what I want to watch, so I won't buy whatever your selling Like this alltogether is fine I can choose but as a customer I've never heard of Kevin

[@suekirk1448]

I'm sat here watching your video, looking at me is plum paloompa the plum crack toy. We always buy at least one of the stuffed toys each year at Xmas. Now they're doing Kevin toys at Easter. You really are missing out.

[@gennytun]

I haven't seen most of these either as I don't watch much TV with adverts. If all ads were like these, I'd happily watch more commercial TV!

[@michelletrudgill4573]

Loved this one. I love how you got so immersed in the ads your faces and the fact you totally got the adult humour is fantastic. Your going to need a bigger house once all the Kevin's turn up. Well done again ❤❤

Kevin is awesome. I am based in Ireland and as soon as the advert is out it is all over the TV right up until Christmas and you never get bored with them, and the best part each time you watch you see something new that you missed on the previous watch. Thanks for re showing them all will be back to this video a few times this Christmas. Hope you both had a fantastic Thankgiving

Although we are able to purchase a wide variety of food a lot of the main Christmas meal consists of seasonal veg and fresh turkeys or other meats. Some people still serve the traditional goose.We are fortunate in UK to be able to purchase from local farm shops . Many supermarkets also stock locally grown food. Christmas pudding and mince pies are a tradition from many years ago. If you think Christmas Day looks good you should see what is often served on Boxing Day. I always enjoy the cold spread.

[@Rudy_Nuff]

Boxing day buffet is always my family’s favourite. One year we had it for instead of a traditional roast dinner ( I extra loved it because it was less work for me - so a double bonus haha) 🎄

I knew you ladies would love KEVIN!! (sorry can't help myself with the Home Alone reference 😅). He is something of a Christmas icon here now. The Aldi video gets the thumbs up 👍 from me. Thanks for putting me into the Christmas spirit! I also feel you would love our Pot Noodle adverts.

One little detail (Easter egg?) you may have missed in the last advert... the black and white striped sweets/candies who capture the Christmas Spirit are known as humbugs

Loved your reactions ladies, Kevin is different every year and gets better and better ❤️

[@colinmoore7460]

There is a different take on the mince pie for Santa, in "The Hogfather" a two part 'series' based on the Terry Pratchett novel of the same name. In this, Death has taken over the gift run because The Hogfather, the Discworld equivalent of Santa, has gone missing, presumed...er..gone. it also features a cameo by the author as the toy-maker.

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

The first year they brought out the Kevin the Carrot plushies they were so rare to find. Greedy people were snapping them all up and selling them for like £30 each , despite them only being £2.99 instore at the time.

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Not surprised, unfortunately

[@alexmead812]

Yes to a video of your Aldi Christmas dinner

[@MargaretTindale]

Kevin the Carrot RULES!!🤣🤣 There's a whole family of them!! Aldi's marketing on this is simply genius!! I love the 2024 ad!!!

[@hayee]

This was AMAZING!! Hadn’t seen this years yet and it didn’t disappoint! I’d love to see a video of your Aldi if there’s one nearby, it’d be so interesting to see similarities and differences of the same supermarket in different countries! I’m also really curious as to what an American Christmas Dinner looks like as you mentioned you have none of the food that we do!

Aldi even made soft Kevin the Carrot toys for children to hug. They proved very popular!

One quick one regarding Kevin being Elton John, and the packs of Rocket. Rocket is what you would know better as arugula. Just we call it Rocket instead. Hence carrot man instead of Rocket man.

In case you were wondering: the narrator of the ads is Jim Broadbent. He played Bridget's father in Bridget Jones's Diary, and one of the teachers in Harry Potter, amongst many other film roles.

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

My wife brought a load of Kevin The Carrot plush hanging decorations from Aldi a number of years ago. We have them up every Christmas. I really hate them! When my children were younger we always left a glass of milk and a mince pie for Santa (or, as I prefer, Father Christmas!😊) and a carrot for the reindeer. When they went to bed I’d eat the mince pie, deliberately leaving some crumbs as ‘evidence’ and would eat the carrot, leaving the top end behind with reindeer teeth marks carved in it.

Putting them all together into this episode, with the 2024 included was great! It showed them as something special. They are part of a tradition of british adds where the viewer gets invested in the characters involved. I think of the The Gold Blend adds (Anthony Head and Sharon Maughan), and The Bisto mum. (Lynda Bellingham). Why doesn't the US have adds like these? Lawyers?

In the morning when we came downstairs asking "has he been?" We found an empty glass and just a few crumbs on the plate. And where the carrot had been, there was a reindeer foot print made out of flour to look like a snowy print.

What a great video ladies. Like you I love the adverts even tho I don't shop at Aldi with any regularity, we pop in from time to time. Working for another food retailer by the time I take my 15% staff discount off It's as easy to shop there and I get free delivery so don't have to leave the house. Other large retailers also do really themed adverts for the festive period with a bit of a story behind them. Some are real tear jerkers. I can honestly say I couldn't remember seeing some of these, I obviously did but just can't remember. It's often said the best thing about British television is the adverts.....how on earth they think these up is amazing....they must be starting work very shortly for Christmas 2025. Glad you enjoyed them and thank you for taking some of us down memory lane.!!❤
