When that jingling illuminated Coca-Cola red truck pulls up, we know the holidays are finally coming.

And it's almost that time again, folks. You can now check whether the Coke lorry will be pulling into your area over the holiday period, as the tour dates have been confirmed.

The enchanting truck that bears the famous Father Christmas face, created by artist Haddon Sundblom, will visit 24 different locations in the UK on its tour this year, bringing free mini Coca-Cola Zero drinks with it and festive photo opportunities.

And when the truck stops at Asda and Sainsbury's stores, you can also purchase a pack of six glass bottles and have the labels personalised with a name.

The tour will kick off on November 15th and for the first time this year, Coca-Cola has teamed up with Crisis UK - the national charity for homelessness.

This means for every Coke can visitors recycle during the tour, 10p will be donated to the charity - so it's the perfect opportunity to get those around you into the holiday spirit whilst helping those in need too.

For as long as you may remember, the Coca-Cola trucks have been an icon of the festive season and that's because they've been around 24 years.

They were first created in 1995 by agency W.B.Doner for a TV advertising campaign, but back then they were known as 'Christmas Caravans'.

They were then illuminated by Industrial Light and Magic, the company behind the Star Wars films using special effects and put on the telly alongside the 'Holidays are coming' jingle.

This truck is the ideal cure for Scroogey behaviour. So if your partner or pal is feeling a little out of sorts, you know what to do.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
