The festive season is rolling into Yorkshire as the iconic Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour 2025 announces its next destination. The famous red lorry, a beloved symbol of the holidays, will be bringing festive cheer to Leeds this week, continuing its nationwide journey.
Leeds Stop Details and Festive Timings
Residents of Leeds and the surrounding areas can experience the magic tomorrow. The truck will be stationed at the Asda superstore on Killingbeck Drive in Seacroft. It will welcome visitors and families for a full afternoon and evening of festivities, operating from 12pm until 8pm.
This stop is part of the ongoing 2025 tour, which has already visited several locations across the UK. The event promises the classic combination of twinkling lights, festive music, and the opportunity for a complimentary Coca-Cola drink, creating a perfect photo opportunity and a memorable moment in the lead-up to Christmas.
A Tour with a Heart: Supporting FareShare
Beyond spreading holiday joy, the tour carries a significant charitable mission through its continued partnership with FareShare, the UK's largest charity fighting hunger and food waste. Coca-Cola has made a substantial donation to the charity as part of this year's campaign.
Graham Kelly, Head of Fundraising at FareShare, expressed profound gratitude for the support. "We are so grateful to Coca-Cola for their continued support," he stated. "This incredibly generous donation means this festive season the equivalent of 1 million meals will reach people and communities in need."
He further explained the critical role this support plays: "Every day, food from FareShare reaches over 8,000 charities across the UK, from after-school clubs to homelessness shelters. Coca-Cola’s support is instrumental in strengthening communities and improving lives in every region."
Creating Uplifting Moments for Communities
The sentiment of community and shared joy was echoed by all partners involved. Elodie Peribere, Senior Marketing Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain and Ireland, highlighted the truck's symbolic role. "Coca-Cola remains synonymous with Christmas, and we're delighted to bring back our iconic Truck Tour," she said. "This year, we’re encouraging everyone to ‘Refresh Your Holidays’ and take a pause to create uplifting moments with loved ones. Our partnership with FareShare is incredibly important, and we hope to make this Christmas more meaningful for thousands."
Local excitement is also high. A spokesperson for Asda shared their enthusiasm for hosting the event: "We’re thrilled to welcome the iconic Coca-Cola Christmas Truck to our store in Killingbeck. It’s a fantastic way to spread festive cheer and create memorable moments for our customers. This is one of the most magical Christmas moments that brings communities together."
The Leeds stop represents another chapter in a tour that successfully blends commercial tradition with substantial social impact, ensuring the holiday spirit reaches both those seeking festive fun and those in need of vital support.
