You know the festive season has begun when you see this big red truck.
Since 1995, Coca-Cola's famous 'Holidays are Coming' advert has marked the beginning of the festive season for many. And in 2010, they launched their iconic Coca-Cola Christmas truck tour that travels to many major UK cities.
This year is no exception. The tour is back with a bang as celebrations are set to debut in London on Thursday 21st November.
Coca-Cola Christmas Truck In London
Kicking off at Elys Yard in the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane Market, Londoners can head down from 2pm to 9.30pm to the winter wonderland-style setting. Here, you can enter lucky dips to win Coca-Cola merchandise, enjoy live DJ sets, watch gospel choirs and chug on free Coca-Cola Zero.
There's also a performance from an oh-so-secret chart-topping artist later on in the evening, so ensure to get down there before the sun sets – fingers crossed it’s Michael Bublé.
