This week, the iconic red Coca-Cola Christmas Truck is kicking off its annual tour across the UK in London.

Now a Christmas tradition for many, the Truck (or lorry) will mark the start of the festive season.

Visitors will be able to enjoy an evening of festive games, a lucky dip with Coca-Cola merch up for grabs, enjoy some food from festive food trucks alongside Coca-Cola Zero Sugar drinks.

Plus, there will be live entertainment from Gospel Choirs to DJ sets as well as a performance from a surprise special guest in the evening. 

When you can see the Coca-Cola Christmas Truck in London this week

This week, you can see the Coca-Cola Christmas Truck on Thursday, November 21 at Elys Yard, Truman Brewery, E1 6QL from 2pm to 9.30pm.

Coca-Cola's Christmas Truck tours the UK every year with this year's supporting FareShare, the UK's biggest charity for food waste and fighting hunger.

This year, Coca-Cola promised to make the tour bigger than ever with the equivalent of a meal being donated on behalf of everyone who attends the Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour.

Kirsty Ford, Head of Fundraising at FareShare, said: “We are so grateful to Coca-Cola for their continued support for FareShare.

"These invaluable donations help us get good-to-eat food to the people who need it rather than going to waste.

"Every day, the food we redistribute to a network of over 8,000 charities in every region helps to strengthen communities.

"Coca-Cola’s generous support for FareShare is instrumental in helping people affected by the cost-of-living crisis.

"This support means charities can unite more people through food to form connections and access essential support services."
