Get Into The Festive Spirit With Coca-Cola

The iconic Coca-Cola Christmas trucks will be coming along again in 2024 so why not get ready to embrace your inner Santa.

It will be a time to come and join in the festive fun and bring along your children for a truly magical time.

The famous TV advert first appeared on our TV screens back in the winter of 1995 when we saw a fleet of twinkling Coca-Cola trucks travelling across a snowy landscape with the now familiar phrase of #HolidaysAreComing.

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. Thank you for helping FareShare make the food go further.”


Florence Wheatley, Marketing Manager for Coca‑Cola Great Britain Coca‑Cola, said:
“Coca‑Cola has and remains synonymous with Christmas, with many people eagerly awaiting the Coca‑Cola Christmas Truck Tour and Holidays Are Coming advert to create a little festive magic.

“This year, we’re delighted to continue our relationship with FareShare to support its mission to reduce hunger and surplus food waste. We hope that every person that attends the Truck Tour not only experiences the magic of Coca‑Cola Christmas, but also supports FareShare, knowing that the equivalent of a meal has been donated on their behalf, acting as a little moment of kindness to ensure that thousands of people across the country enjoy a more meaningful Christmas.”


While we're waiting for the full Truck Tour dates to be announced, there are lots of things to do on their website.

Here is a sneak preview of the 2024 advert.
