Coca Cola Truck Christmas tour dates 2023

Holidays are coming! The Coca-Cola Christmas Truck tour dates run across the UK from November to December.

Does it even feel like Christmas if you don’t see the Christmas Coca Cola Truck advert?

I know Christmas seems to start early every year, but somehow Coca Cola smashes it and launch its advert at precisely the right time when “Holidays Are Coming”.

Along with the advert, we get to experience the real magic Christmas truck tour.

A total favourite with adults and kids, you get to see the truck in real life for free all over the UK.

Why visit the Coca Cola Truck?

There are a few reasons you’d want to visit and see the truck with your own eyes.

First up, it’s a free day out and something festive to do with the kids.

They give out FREE samples of Coca Cola Zero Sugar while you’re visiting.

Also, you can take photos and selfies with the truck, making lovely memories.

Coca Cola Truck tour dates 2023

They plan to stop off in as many places across Scotland, Wales and England as possible, and dates and locations will be released over a few weeks.

The Coca-Cola Christmas advert hits screens at the end of November. As soon as that airs, we will get full details of the tour.

Full details for the Coca-Cola truck 2023 are slowly being released, and we’re finding out details as they come…see below!

There will be a “winter market” setting, and there will be fun activities for all to enjoy

Coca-Cola Truck Virtual Tour

If you cannot make it to one of the locations, you can still take part in a virtual tour.

Or, why not take a look at their Christmas advert at any time of the year?

FAQs

When did the Coca-Cola Christmas Truck advert first come out?

The now very famous Christmas Truck, with Santa on the side, first hit our TV screens in the winter of 1995.

Although, the advert has changed a little over the years.

Is the Coca-Cola Truck real?

Three real trucks were created for the filming of the first advert back in 1995 (and more were added using special effects).

Can I buy a Coca Cola Truck?

While you won’t be able to buy a full-size truck (cause, come on, where would you even keep it?!), you can get miniatures.

This 1:43 scale model has LEDs that light up (check the latest price)

Did Coca-Cola invent the red Santa?

Santa has had many depictions over time.

In 1931, an illustrator was commissioned to create a painting of Santa Claus for a Cole advertising campaign.

It’s here that he made Santa wear a red jacket. He didn’t make it red on purpose to match Coca-Cola’s colours; it’s simply how the artist painted it.
