The final Coca-Cola Christmas Truck tour date for 2023 has been announced in the final stretch before Christmas.

With the big day just around the corner the festive HGV is on the last leg of its journey across the UK. The Coca-Cola truck started off its tour in Scotland, before moving slowly south, through the north of England, into the Midlands, London itself, before meandering into the south-east and now westwards.

It’s already hit up a number of different places on its seventeen Christmas stop tour, starting off in Glasgow, heading through the likes of Manchester and Liverpool, Wolverhampton, Birmingham and London - and the final stop will be in Cardiff. On Saturday 23 December the Coca-Cola Christmas tour will end in the Welsh capital on its 17th and final stop. It will be at St Davids Dewi Saint, in St Davids Centre, from midday until 8pm.

This comes as today the Coca-Cola truck will stop off in Bristol, bringing the festive spirit to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway, between midday and 8pm.

A spokesperson for Coca-Cola said: "This year, the Truck Tour will be getting the people of Thurrock (the wider Grays area) and surrounding areas into the festive spirit with their new Snow Globe, which invites families to step into a Winter wonderland for the perfect holiday snapshot. Throughout the tour, visitors can also enjoy the Coca-Cola Christmas choir, as they perform a set of carols, filling the air with holiday magic."

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.

The truck began its tour on November 24, setting off south, from Scotland. Dates for Belfast, December 8-10, were cancelled due to stormy weather that battered the Irish city, but these have since been rearranged for December 13-15.

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.
