By MoneySavingExpert's Coupon Kid, Jordon Cox

You know the build-up to Christmas has begun when you see the festive Coca-Cola advert. And this year, like many before, the Coca-Cola truck from that famous advert is going on tour around the country giving out free Coke and festive cheer.

The truck will be stopping in 44 cities around the UK setting off on Thursday 17 November and ending its nationwide road trip on Tuesday 20 December.

At each stop, there will be photo opportunities, festive carol singers and a free can of either Coca-Cola, Diet Coke or Coke Zero for every person.

Here’s a full rundown of the cities and dates. For full location information, see the Christmas truck tour stops.
