This year the Gonks have been transformed into a teddy advent calendar, as well as being available as ornaments and Christmas tree decorations, and while some may think it's too early to start thinking about Christmas many people are ready for this festive cheer.

One said: "I NEED one of these!"

Another added: "I love this" followed by two heart-eye emojis.

A third tagged others and said: "Shall we do our Xmas night early this year?!" with a laughing emoji

And also tagged someone else and said: "We need to gooo soooonn"
