What charities have Coca-Cola previously worked with?
Coca-Cola has, however, partnered with several charities in the past, including homelessness charity Crisis and food bank charity FareShare.
In the past, Coca-Cola fans who visit the truck have been been able to sample festive treats at a pop-up winter market, take part in games and take “elfie selfies”.
Visitors have also been able to buy a special Coca-Cola that can be personalised with their name or a short phrase.
What can you do at the Christmas truck stops?
There will be multiple activities for people to participate in at the events.
Coca-Cola will offer a range of interactive experiences for visitors to immerse themselves in festive fun.
Guests will be welcomed by a walk-in, snow-filled bauble, inviting families to step into a winter wonderland for the perfect holiday snapshot.
Those attending the events will also have an opportunity to win a selection of prizes including meal-inspired rewards and recycled Christmas tree decorations.

Why are Coca-Cola cans red?
There’s a fascinating reason behind the scarlet branding that defines the fizzy drink – and it’s all about taxes.
It’s not, as many believe, tied to the famous Coca-Cola ads which saw Santa sporting a red coat for the first time.
It goes back much further than that, to the mid 1890s, when the drink was served out of barrels in US drug stores.
At the time alcohol was taxed while soft drinks were not so the Coca-Cola Company began painting its barrels red so that customs officials and tax officials could tell them apart from barrels of booze.
The colour then became the company’s signature shade and the company even named its first magazine The Red Barrel, in 1924.
