When the glistening Coca-Cola truck arrives on our TV screens, an overwhelming Christmassy feeling consumes us and for some this officially kick-starts the festive season.

Now in it's eighth year, the Coca-Cola truck tour has travelled more than 737,000 miles and visitors have enjoyed 8,772 twinkling fairy lights.

Spreading festive joy to towns and cities up and down the country, the famous red truck will visit 24 locations starting this Friday (November 9) in Glasgow before arriving in London in December.

The Coca-Cola truck will visit two locations in London

There are two scheduled stops in London and visitors will get the opportunity to see the truck in a glittering winter wonderland setting, and also enjoy a free 150ml can of Coca-Cola zero sugar, Diet Coke or Coca-Cola original taste at each stop.

The trucks first stop in the capital will be at The O2 in Greenwich, arriving in time for the Jingle Bell Ball on Saturday and Sunday, December 8 and9.

The truck will then spread some Christmas magic in other locations before the final stop in Croydon, arriving on Saturday and Sunday December, 15 and 16, at Valley Retail & Leisure Park before it disappears for another year.
