Coca Cola's famous truck tour is back for 2021, a year after the trip across the UK was cancelled due to the pandemic.

To make up for lost time, the bosses at Coca Cola are planning to get the truck to stop at as many cities as possible, giving everyone more of a chance of spotting the iconic vehicle.

However, they are doing things a little different this year, and announcing each location as they go.

From November into December, the Coca Cola truck will be touring the UK, stopping off at a number of cities. Picture: Getty

This year, the locations will be announced one-by-one, so you'll need to keep an eye on their website and social media channels for new announcements.

Explaining the decision, a spokesperson for Coca Cola said: "This year, we’re planning to stop off at as many cities around the UK as possible – but we don’t want to spoil the surprise just yet.

"We’ll be revealing which cities we’ll be rolling into over the next few weeks, so keep your eyes on our social media or website for all the details."
