The arrival of the iconic Coca-Cola Christmas Truck is a cherished signal that the festive season is truly underway across the UK. The 2025 tour of the famous red lorry is now in full swing, bringing its magical winter wonderland to towns and cities.
What to Expect at the 2025 Tour Stops
The centrepiece of the tour is a specially decorated 14-tonne red truck, adorned with thousands of twinkling fairy lights. It creates a spectacular illuminated backdrop for families seeking that perfect Christmas photo opportunity. As part of the experience, visitors are typically offered a complimentary can of Coca-Cola, choosing from options like Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, or Coca-Cola Classic.
The full schedule for the 2025 Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour is being confirmed gradually, with a total of 15 destinations anticipated. Fans are advised to keep an eye out for official updates as more locations are announced.
Confirmed Stop in Leeds
A key stop on this year's journey has been confirmed for Leeds. The truck was scheduled to appear at the Asda on Killingbeck Drive on Wednesday, December 3. It was set to operate for visitors between 12 pm and 8 pm, providing a full day of festive cheer.
This Leeds visit follows several successful earlier stops on the 2025 tour route. The truck had already brought its festive magic to communities in Burton-upon-Trent, Bradford, Manchester, and Liverpool.
A Look Back at Previous Tours
The truck's popularity shows no signs of waning, with certain regions becoming regular favourites. In 2023, the tour made multiple visits to the West Midlands. Stops that year included the Bullring in Birmingham, Morrisons in Rubery, and Market Square in Wolverhampton.
Specifically in Birmingham last year, the truck parked outside the Bullring on Rotunda Square on Friday, December 20. Organisers have yet to confirm if and when it will return to the city for the 2025 tour, leaving local fans eagerly awaiting news.
As the tour continues its journey, it remains a highlight of the festive calendar for countless families, creating sparkling memories and marking the official countdown to Christmas Day.
