Coca- Cola Christmas Truck Tour makes a stop at mall

- BY NICOLE MITCHELL

FAMILIES braved the cold weather to see the iconic red CocaCola Christmas Truck as it returned to Glasgow. As part of The Magic of Giving Christmas campaign, Coca- Cola’s Truck Tour arrived at Silverburn Shopping Centre yesterday morning.

In addition to the big red truck, there is also a winter market featuring food huts serving seasonal treats and a choir keeping the crowd entertaine­d as they queued up for pictures.

Hope, 3, was excited to see the “cool” Christmas truck and wanted to come along to get her own can of Coca- Cola as a special treat.

Her mum Yvonne Softley laughed: “She’s only allowed it at parties. Her Grandpa gives her and you’re not allowed it are you? It’s a very special treat because it’s nearly Christmas.”

As well as getting your hands on a Coca- Cola Zero, every visit to the truck is helping those experienci­ng food poverty with Coca- Cola Great Britain funding the equivalent of one meal for a person in need.

Laura Moon, senior brand manager at The Coca- Cola Company, Great Britain, said: “Coca- Cola has always been synonymous with Christmas, particular­ly the iconic Truck Tour and Holidays Are Coming advert.

“This year, the magic of Christmas is needed more than ever, and we are excited to bring back our famous truck tour to fans nationwide. We’re also extremely pleased to continue our relationsh­ip with FareShare and for every person that visits the Truck Tour, we’ll donate the equivalent of a meal on their behalf, supporting those most in need this festive season.”

The Coca- Cola Truck Tour will be at Silverburn Shopping Centre today from 11.30am.
