Coca-Cola's much-awaited iconic truck tour is back for 2022 festive season for a sweet and sugary madness. And this time, Jessie & Lennie Ware have partnered with our favourite soft drink to host Coca-Cola x Table Manners Christmas Corner at London's Strand for one day only.
As rumour has it, Father Christmas proudly dons his iconic red and white outfit all thanks to Coca-Cola. In 1931, Coca-Cola released an advert featuring a jolly Santa Claus sipping a bottle of the sweet stuff at Christmas - and the rest is history. Coca-Cola's colours and jingle and the festive season became synonymous forever more.
The much-anticipated annual Christmas Truck Tour usually makes only one stop in the capital, but this year, Santa is really spoiling us with three whole days in London.
The full dates are:
- November 25 – Bluewater, Kent
- November 26-27 – Beckton, London
- December 1 - Wembley Park, London
- December 8-10 – Dublin, Ireland
- December 16-17 – Belfast, Northern Ireland
The brand is collaborating with the Royal Institute of Blind People and NaviLens for this year’s tour, and has vowed to make its packaging better suited for blind and partially sighted people. Some multipacks of Coca-Cola will feature NaviLens technology to celebrate the collaboration. The team will also donate a meal on behalf of everyone who attends the tour this year, and have gifted 100,000 already.
But that's not the only treat that's in store for us. There's a Coca‑Cola Christmas Corner pop-up coming our way, and we are more than ecstatic!
The pop-up is a festive celebration, hosted by much-loved mother-daughter Jessie and Lennie Ware, the duo behind podcast sensation Table Manners, and will offer Christmas crafting experiences.
You will be able to try their go-to lunch nibbles, be a teatime winner and meet some special guests. Learn how to decorate fabulous Christmas baubles, create personalised gingerbread cookies or take part in a lesson on tablescaping.
Tickets are free with attendance supporting Coca-Cola's partnership with FareShare.
And if all these don't quench your thirst, you can always pop into the Coca-Cola store in Covent Garden. Coke-ho-ho, indeed!
Here's the full details for the pop up:
Session 1: 12:30pm - 2pm - Personalised gingerbread creations with baker Ruby Bhogal
Session 2: 5:30pm - 7pm - Bauble decorating with designer Hello Marilu
