For this year's tour, guests can feel even better visiting the tour, after it was revealed this year's theme is “Your Presence is Your Present”, which sees Coca-Cola teaming up with charity Fareshare to help to support those experiencing food poverty.
The firm say they will donate the equivalent of up to 100,000 meals to those in need throughout the festive season, with every person that attends the Coca-Cola Truck Tour, seeing Coca-Cola fund the equivalent of one meal for a person in need.
The ambition is to fund the total equivalent of 200,000 meals.
Senior brand manager at The Coca-Cola Company Great Britain, Laura Moon, said: “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.”
As always, Edinburgh Live will let you know any more dates as soon as we find out.
