When is the Coca-Cola Christmas truck coming to Scotland in 2025? Here's what we know so far

The iconic red lorry will soon return for the 2025 festive season, which will mark 15 years since its first journey around the country.

To celebrate, the Coca-Cola Christmas truck will visit 15 locations around the UK - hopefully including at least one in Scotland. Last year, it stopped at Edinburgh’s Fort Kinnaird Shopping Centre, but the year before it also visited Glasgow Silverburn.

With the drinks company inviting guests to “Refresh Your Holidays”, this year they hope to bring communities together and deliver “immersive experiences” while on tour.

When is the Coca-Cola Christmas truck coming to Scotland in 2025?

We don’t yet know exactly when - or where - the Coca-Cola Christmas truck will head out on tour, but based on last year’s dates it should be revealed soon.

In 2024, the truck made its first appearance in London on November 21, with its only Scottish stop in Edinburgh on November 30. In 2023, when there were two Scottish stops, the Coca-Cola truck appeared in the country on November 24 and 25.

So while we don’t yet know exactly when the Coca-Cola Christmas truck will arrive in Scotland, it could even be as soon as next week.

More news is set to be revealed across the company’s UK and Ireland Instagram account in the coming weeks.

What’s on during the Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour?

Coca-Cola promise that each stop will be transformed into a “truly magical winter wonderland”, with selfie-worth backgrounds, festive games with exclusive prizes and, of course, refreshing drinks.

The brand will also continue its partnership with FareShare, the UK’s leading food redistribution charity. They will make a direct donation to the charity which is the equivalent to 1 million meals in support of getting food to those who need it most.

In addition, Coca-Cola are partnering with Tesco to donate 20p from every Tesco Festive Meal Deal purchased with any 500ml Coca‑Cola Original Taste, Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar or Diet Coke drink.

Graham Kelly, Head of Fundraising at FareShare said: “We are so grateful to Coca‑Cola for their continued support for FareShare. This incredibly generous donation means this festive season the equivalent of 1 million meals will reach people and communities in need.

“Every day, food from FareShare reaches over 8,000 charities across the UK, from after-school and community lunch clubs to homelessness shelters, providing nutritious meals alongside access to vital services. Coca‑Cola’s support for FareShare is instrumental in strengthening communities and improving lives in every region of the UK. Together, we can create lasting change, one meal at a time.”
