Aldi brings back mince pies for ‘Junemas’, dividing customers

Aldi has received mixed reactions online after it revealed that it would be releasing Christmas products early this year, with a brand event it’s calling ‘Junemas’.

Others, meanwhile, were a lot more supportive, and hoped Junemas would see the return of the company’s Christmas mascot, Kevin the carrot:
