Sometimes I'm at home on Christmas day surrounded by my family, half-cut, pulling crackers, telling cheesy jokes, feeling the love and for a second I forget the real meaning of the celebration is consumerism and capitalist gluttony.
Never mind though guys, the Mirror reports that "Coca-Cola's famous Christmas truck tour dates have been revealed, meaning the holidays are well and truly coming" and "in a sure sign the festive season is underway, the yuletide lorry will set off on November 17 and make 44 nationwide stops."

Woohoo! Apparently the truck disembarks from Bishops Square in London, before making its way across the UK and finishes up at Leicester Square just before Christmas day.
One lucky consumer will also win a personal visit to their home from the Christmas truck - and a Santa sack full of goodies worth £5,000! Also alongside the truck this year will be a 'winter wonderland' attraction.
For the first time ever, the Coca-Cola juggernaut will also be stopping online too as Twitter users will enjoy their own special visit from 4 November - 25 December.
This year it will be visiting 44 locations across the UK. Get it in your diaries MOFOS.
