People will be able to visit the truck between noon and 7pm on each of the dates.

As well as capturing 'the perfect seasonal selfies' in front of the iconic red truck, this year’s tour promises to be 'bigger and better than ever before', with a magical ‘winter market’ setting, featuring fun activities for all to get involved with.

This year’s sparkling Christmas experience also offers fun opportunities - from giggle-inducing ‘elfie selfie’ shots, to QR codes that access a host of interactive games, plus food huts that will serve up delicious seasonal tastes.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to purchase Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Coca-Cola Original Taste and have them personalised with their name or short phrase, as a gift or keepsake.

This year's tour is set to put a spotlight on local community, supporting FareShare, the UK’s biggest charity fighting hunger and food waste.

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.”

Here are the full list of dates for the UK so far:

  • November 25 - Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent
  • November 26 and 27 - Sainsbury's, Beckton
  • December 8 to 10 - Dublin
  • December 16 and 17 - Belfast
