Soft drink giant Coca Cola are dropping hints that their Christmas truck tour is set to return this year following a series of cryptic posts on social media.

The tour, which usually starts in mid to late November, sees branded vans reminiscent of the iconic ‘holidays are coming’ television advert travel the country with staff handing out free drinks.

The brand has confirmed it is currently working towards announcing dates.

"We can confirm there will be a Truck Tour this year, however, our team are still finalising the details so keep an eye on our socials for updates." Coca-Cola said.

When will the truck tour be announced?

Dates for the tour are not usually announced until the trucks are nearby. Last year the first dates were announced on Friday, November 25 with days continuing to be announced over the following weeks.
