Coca Cola’s Christmas truck in London’s Covent Garden

Like millions of people around the world, I grew up watching the annual Christmas adverts by Coca-Cola around the month of December. It’s a long-held tradition reaching back to my early childhood, as far back as my memory can stretch. Feelings of exhilaration would be felt across my body when on TV I would see the brightly lit, giant red lorry driving along in full Christmas cheer. About a month ago I remember thinking how I wished that extraordinary Coca-Cola lorry was real because it would then bring this fantasy to life, and then someone told me that it does actually exist. Imagine my joy when being told the lorry would be touring the country!

Just two days ago, it made a pit-stop in London and there was no way I was going to miss seeing it for the world. It was fulfilling a childhood dream. I had so much fun! Enjoy the photos, and do check out my video at the bottom!

    Is it wrong that I want/need that Coca-Cola outfit?
