Brits can welcome the Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour again this year bringing festive spirit while providing surplus food to people in need.

All 15 UK cities set to be visited by the Coca-Cola Truck this year are to be revealed but what we do know is it will be kicking off its tour with two stops in Edinburgh.

The legendary lit-up lorry - made famous from the annual TV advert - makes its way across the nation every year, offering fans a chance to get their hands on free drinks in the run-up to Christmas.

As part of the tour, the soft drinks giant will continue its partnership with FareShare, Britain's leading food redistribution charity. Coca-Cola will make a direct donation to FareShare, equivalent to one million meals, to support their efforts in fighting food poverty and reducing food waste.
