Coca Cola Christmas Truck set to return after festive tour is confirmed for 2022

Christmas is one the way and one thing families can look forward to every year, is the arrival of the famous Coca-Cola Truck Tour, which has just been confirmed for 2022.

Last year, the festive tour arrived in Glasgow for two dates and though this year the dates have yet to be confirmed, we are hoping it'll make its way back to the city.

This year, the soft drinks giant is teaming up with FareShare, the UK’s biggest charity fighting hunger and food waste.

Describing this year's event as "bigger and better than ever before", families visiting the Christmas Truck can enjoy exciting activities like ‘Elfie selfie’ shots, special QR codes that allow you to access a selection of interactive games, and plenty fun food huts offering festive treats.

As well as selfies with the famous festive truck itself, you'll also be able to purchase personalised Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Coca-Cola Original as a fun festive memento of the day.

As part of its commitment to local communities, the firm said that every visit to the tour will help support FareShare and its push to combat food poverty.

This year's theme, “Your Presence is Your Present”, will see Coca-Cola donating the equivalent of up to 100,000 meals to those who need it most throughout the festive season.

Lindsay Boswell, CEO at FareShare said: “We’re incredibly grateful for the support from Coca-Cola. Their donation will help us get more good-to-eat surplus food to people across the UK most impacted by the cost of living crisis.

"We hope as many people visit the Coca-Cola Truck Tour this Christmas so that we can get more food to people who need it during what are challenging times for many.”

Senior brand manager at The Coca-Cola Company, Great Britain, Laura Moon, added: “Coca-Cola has always been synonymous with Christmas, particularly the iconic Truck Tour and Holidays Are Coming advert. This year, the magic of Christmas is needed more than ever, and we are excited to bring back our famous truck tour to fans nationwide.

“We’re also extremely pleased to continue our relationship with FareShare and for every person that visits the Truck Tour, we’ll donate the equivalent of a meal on their behalf, supporting those most in need this festive season.”

Don't worry if you can't attend in person, as part of their festive fun this season, Coca-Cola is offering people the chance to win thousands of festive gifts, by scanning their on-pack QR codes for the chance to win, including pre-loaded £200 ‘Festive Feast’ gift cards, as part of their ‘Christmas Always Finds A Way’ campaign.

With a packed schedule of exciting Truck Tour stops taking place in the lead-up to Christmas, eager Coca-Cola Christmas Truck fans can follow announcements about the schedule which will be made over the coming weeks at @CocaColaEU (Instagram) and @CocaCola_GB (Twitter) - though as always we'll let you know here first as soon as we find out.
