Coca-Cola's Christmas Truck Tour 2021 confirmed which means 'holidays are coming'

Coca Cola has announced its Christmas truck tour of the UK will go ahead this year - signalling a start to the festive season.

The truck, which is painted in the drinks giant's trademark red hue, usually visits around 40 locations from the end of November.

Though it usually makes dozens of stops, Coca Cola is remaining tight-lipped about the full tour schedule, the Daily Star reports.

On previous visits, hundreds of Brits can be seen travelling to their closest truck to grab a free bottle of coke and take some Christmassy snaps for social media.
