Yet another stop for the Coca-Cola Christmas truck tour has been announced, with the festive attraction set to hit another city tomorrow.

Today the popular Christmas truck is heading up north, taking Santa to Manchester for locals to enjoy. The magical tour began in Glasgow and Edinburgh, letting guests enjoy interactive experiences, a walk-in snow-filled bauble and a winter wonderland photo booth.

But now it's due to stop off in Sheffield at The Meadowhall Centre this Sunday. As well as enjoying the above, visitors can also make a stop at the Ho-Ho-Hoop hut to try and win a selection of prizes and enjoy the Coca-Cola Christmas choir.

The stop will be free to attend as all of the Coca-Cola truck tour stops are, apart from those in Dublin and Belfast. For these two, visitors will need to book tickets in advance from Eventbrite.

Today the festive HGV touches down in Manchester, at The Trafford Centre, the sixth stop on the Christmas tour. 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.
