The Coca-Cola truck will visit Dublin, Mayo, Galway, Cork, Waterford, and Belfast very soon

Holidays are coming, holidays are coming. Here’s when it arrives.

Ok, Coca-Cola will have us believe that holidays are coming and given the fact that they practically invented Santa as we know him – jolly old Saint Nick wore green before Coke rebranded him, true story – we’ll take their word on it.

Granted, the arrival of the holidays is always a very subjective matter.

For some people, it’s Christmas as soon as Halloween passes. For others, it’s not the festive season until the first day of December. Elsewhere, traditionalists – like yours truly – will argue that the Christmas tree only goes up on 8 December, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

Each to their own.

However, with the influx of Christmas adverts, there’s always one that trumps the rest and heralds in the start of the season. Well, that’s true in jingle terms because that ‘Holidays Are Coming’ jingle is a banger!

Snow, lights, lots of smiles, Santa, a massive conglomerate that are marketing itself in-situ with the happiest time of the year.

Yep, it could only mean the arrival of the beloved Coca-Cola Christmas trucks in Ireland.

Aside from seeing the beloved trucks, guests will be able to purchase exclusive merchandise at each truck stop and will also get to enjoy a can of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, or Coca-Cola Original Taste too. We’re shocked at this news.

Yep, the Coca-Cola truck is here and it’s stopping at the following locations around Ireland:

Galway Retail Park – 30 November from 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin – 1 December from 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Ballina, Mayo – 4 December from 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Belfast Custom House – 7-8 Dec 7-8 from 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Waterford, Winterval – 14 December from 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Enjoy!
