Lidl Christmas Freeway Truck TRACKER: Free gifts and ‘Golden Tickets’ on offer
Why is the Coca-Cola truck famous?
The Coca-Cola Christmas truck was first seen in the brand’s hugely popular 1995 advert.
At the time they were known as Christmas Caravans and were decorated with images of the Coca‑Cola Santa by artist Haddon Sundblom.
The 60-second clip features the now-iconic Holidays Are Coming song, which is still synonymous with Coca-Cola to this day.
The truck began touring the US in 2001 but didn’t start visiting the UK until 2010.
Lidl launched its rival to the iconic red Christmas truck this year for the very first time.
