Where and when to see the Coca-Cola Christmas truck in Sunderland and Newcastle

When?

The red vehicle will be in the city tomorrow, November 24, after appearing in Newcastle today.

Where?

It will be at Asda, in Leechmere Road, Sunderland, from 1pm to 9pm.

It will stop at Tesco, in Brunton Lane, Newcastle from 1pm to 9pm.

What will you see?

Those who see the truck will be able to get their photo taken with the famous wagon and try free samples.

A Coca-Cola spokesman said: "On your visit you'll have the chance to wander through an enchanted winter wonderland, before having your photo taken with the iconic truck.

"Once the sun has set, you'll be invited to enjoy an incredible after-dark surprise as we screen a short Christmas animation onto the truck, powered by your goodwill and festive cheer."

Why is it coming?

The Coca-Cola Christmas advert has become synonymous with the start of Christmas - so much so that Coca-Cola launched tours for truck that appears on the TV slots.

This year, it hit the road on November 17 and will visit 44 locations across the UK before coming to a stop on December 23.

It's the sixth year in a row that the truck has toured the UK.
