Another tour date has been announced for the Coca-Cola Christmas truck that is making its way through the UK this festive season.
The tour started off in Glasgow, Scotland, and over the past two weeks, it stopped in multiple cities including Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool. Today, it arrived in Birmingham at 12pm and will stay at the Bullring shopping centre on Moor Street until 8pm.
But now it has been announced that tomorrow the Coca-Cola Christmas truck will stop at the centre shopping centre in Milton Keynes between 11am and 5pm. Guests will have a chance to get into the festive spirit with the new Snow Globe, which invites families to step into a Winter Wonderland for the perfect holiday snapshot.
The tour kicked off at the end of November and is due to hit 17 stops this yearVisitors 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.
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.
