THEY have been festive favourites with pretty much everyone this Christmas.
Kevin and Katie the carrots even helped Aldi secure the most popular Christmas advert of 2017.
The supermarket chain released Kevin and Katie carrot soft toys at the end of last month, selling out at many stores within hours.
They announced their children - Chantenay, Baby Carrot and Jasper - would go on sale today, resulting in similar scenes of carrot frenzy.
Did you manage to buy a baby carrot toy? E mail your photos to melanie.disley@nqnw.co.uk with name and where you bought it
Only two per person can be purchased in stores, with money raised going towards the Teenage Cancer Trust, leaving many customers frustrated to see the toys being sold for inflated prices.

Finally managed to get the Aldi carrot family. Still have the mum and dad ones to buy. Looked on eBay and people are selling them for between £75-£125. They originally only cost £2.99. Disgusting people are doing that, to make a profit. pic.twitter.com/uXJMZ5ogRe

The chain has responded to criticism on Twitter adding: "We are disappointed that a small number of people are looking to profit from a good cause.
"We always try to ensure that the carrot toys are distributed fairly to our customers but unfortunately we cannot always control how they are used afterwards."
