Coca-Cola Truck Has Confirmed Dates And Destinations For Christmas 2019

It's nearly that time of year again. Yes, it's the time when a large number of people get extremely excited for the Coca-Cola truck to potentially visit their town or city - and luckily for those keen, the full list of dates and destinations has been released.

The drinks company brings out the truck every year, so that the less Scroogey of us can head out in the cold to get handed a free can of Coke.

Of course, it's not just about that. The famous truck marks the beginning of the festive season for many, thanks to its appearances on Coke adverts soundtracked by the famous 'Holidays are coming' song - and in recent years the vehicle has made the journey from telly to real life.

This year, Coca-Cola has teamed up with national homeless charity Crisis, pledging to donate 10p for each can recycled by visitors at the truck to the cause.

It kicks off its tour in Edinburgh on Friday 15 November, before heading across the country for a month. The trek winds up at the O2 Arena in London on Sunday 15 December - if you're lucky enough for your town to be paid a visit, the truck will be open from 12pm and the queue for entry will close at 7pm.
