Another tour date for the Coca-Cola Christmas truck has been announced as the popular festive attraction continues to make its way through the UK.

After starting off in Scotland, the Christmas HGV made its way south, through the north of England and into the Midlands. It's now stopped off in eight different cities across the UK with the latest tour date announced for this weekend - as it hits up Leicester today.

But on Saturday, the Coca-Cola Christmas truck will stop off in Birmingham, at the Bullring shopping centre, letting guests enjoy interactive experiences, a walk-in snow-filled bauble and a winter wonderland photo booth.

The Christmas truck started its tour off on November 24 in Glasgow, before moving to Edinburgh and winding through the north of England, stopping at the likes of Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds along the way.

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.

Florence Wheatley, Brand Manager at Coca-Cola Company, Great Britain, said: “Coca-Cola has been spreading Christmas cheer for decades and, this year, we’ve added even more exciting elements to make it as magical and merry as possible. Alongside the beloved 'Holidays Are Coming' advert, we have introduced new elements like the 'World Needs More Santas' TVC and an interactive Santa Quiz. We’re also thrilled to extend our partnership with Neighbourly and emphasise spreading kindness and making a positive impact locally. Together, we want to inspire year-round acts of goodwill and truly make a difference in our communities!"
