A jaw-dropping number of carrots are being handed out by Morrisons in order to keep up the seasonal cheer and encourage families to stick to Xmas traditions. Millions of families leave out a number of treats for Santa and his helpful reindeer each Christmas eve as part of an annual ritual.

Often cookies and milk are left for Father Christmas with his nine helpers being allowed to share a carrot or two. Morrisons have noticed in the past that their carrot sales actually more than double in the build up to December 25 - mostly thanks to the Norse tradition.

This has led them to launch the free wonky treats initiative in recent years. Andy Todd, Carrot Buyer at Morrisons, said: “Thousands of families across the nation will excitedly be preparing for Father Christmas’s visit soon. "And we wanted to play our part in helping to ensure he and his team are well fed.
"Our tasty wonky range helps our British farmers reduce waste and offers customers a delicious alternative at a fraction of the cost.”. Wonky vegetables are just like any ordinary type of food but are often oversized or misshapen. This can make them less appealing to some shoppers despite tasting the exact same.
