Aldi has released a teaser Christmas 2018 advert, and it looks it could be the end for its much-loved character, Kevin the Carrot.

Kevin stole the nation's heart in 2016, when he made his Oscar-worthy debut in Aldi's festive commercial.

For the last two Christmases, he has put a smile on viewers faces, and in 2017 he met fellow carrot Katie and the pair settled down and had little ones.

But could all this be about to change?

In the new 40-second clip, Kevin can be seen driving a lookalike Coca-Cola truck through a snowy neighbourhood.

He is of course, delivering Aldi goodies just in time for December 25.

But the truck derails in the heavy snowfall, and it is left hanging a steep cliff.

It ends with an image of poor Kevin behind the wheel, with a look of desperation and dismay on his face.

Is Kevin the Carrot about to die before Christmas? Aldi's new Christmas advert has been released

Aldi has not released details about Kevin's fate - so viewers are literally left on a cliffhanger.

However, we are hoping this isn't the end for the little carrot.

Watch this space, we are guessing a sequel is sure to follow.
