Coca-Cola confirms the Christmas truck tour is returning this December

The arrival of the Coca-Cola advert is the familiar first sign of Christmas for many.

The fleet of twinkling Coca-Cola trucks making their way across a snowy landscape, with the catchphrase jingle, the catchy ‘holidays are coming!’ slogan are enough to make anyone feel a little bit festive.

The 6.5metre-long and 13 tonne truck has toured the UK's roads for nine years and Coca-Cola's festive adverts have been on our TV screens since November 1995.

And if you're yet to see the jolly sight in person, then we've got some very good news for you - it's returning once again for Christmas 2019.

Coca-Cola has confirmed that the truck, which brings free drinks to cities across the UK, will be setting off on tour in December 2019.

No official tour dates or stops have been released as of yet.

However in a message on their website, a spokesperson said: "Holidays are coming... soon!

"The iconic Coca-Cola Christmas truck tour will shortly be back for 2019, spreading holiday magic across the UK! Details will be revealed very soon."

Last year, the iconic truck stopped off at Tesco in Newcastle and the Sanderson Arcade in Morpeth as part of its UK tour.
