The festive season is truly underway as more stops have been added to the Coca-Cola Truck Tour Christmas tour.
The iconic vehicle is coming to Leeds on Thursday November 30, with the tour kicking off the festivities all day at White Rose Shopping Centre between 12pm and 8pm.
This year, the Truck Tour features its new Snow Globe, where families can enjoy a Winter Wonderland and win prizes. The "Ho-Ho-Hoop hut" will let visitors participate in different games and win fun rewards including meals and recycled Christmas decorations. As well as that, visitors can also enjoy the Coca-Cola Christmas choir performing a set of classical carols.
Alongside the tour, Coca-Cola has teamed up with Neighbourly, a charity supporting local communities and inspiring acts of kindness to those most in need. Those looking to make a difference this Christmas will be able to donate online or use the QR code at the Truck Tour to contribute to the Neighbourly Foundation. At the Leeds stop, visitors will be supporting Rainbow Junktion Community Cafe and Foodshare.

In Belfast it will stop at the Titanic Slipway.

Unlike previous years where people would just turn up at the venue and hope for a spot, this year guests are being asked to buy tickets for both the Dublin and Belfast events. For both events tickets are limited to four per person and the €2 charge is being donated to charity, but a booking fee of €1.14 per ticket means you need to pay €3.14 to attend.
There are two slots either 2pm to 5pm or 6pm to 9pm. Tickets are available from Eventbrite. The Mirror can reveal that all other stops on the tour - except Dublin and Belfast - will be free events, as in previous years.
