Lidl's new Christmas cola truck to visit Wrexham this month

Lidl has unveiled its very own Christmas cola truck, set to tour Great Britain from November 14 to December 1 for the first time ever.

Spreading the festive magic of Christmas across the nation, the truck will grant wishes, hand out over 2,000 Middle Aisle present boxes, give away festive food shops, on a first come first serve basis and provide an array of mouth watering festive food from Lidl.

The truck will be at Queen's Square in Wrexham from 12pm until 6pm on November 24.

Setting its fan-favourite Freeway drink on the literal freeway by transforming it into a truck, a can of Lidl’s fizzy cola has been reimagined into a whopping 15 tonne, 20 metre long and 5 metre high king of the road. 

With a Freeway label wrapped cylindrical body and life-like pull-ring back hatch, the instantly recognisable and show-stopping truck has been created to spread the magic of Christmas across Great Britain.

Touring nine cities also include Nottingham, Harrogate and Bournemouth, the truck will highlight the magic of giving, sharing and wish-making this Christmas with a pop-up wonderland at each stop.

Over 2,000 present boxes are held inside the truck, filled to the brim of Lidl’s famed Middle Aisle items, ready to be handed out to its first visitors at each stop.

What’s more, one in 10 of these boxes will contain a ‘Golden Ticket’, giving shoppers the incredible opportunity to win their Christmas food shop at Lidl, worth up to £100.

The magic doesn’t stop there, either. Mirroring the supermarket’s new Christmas advert - directed by Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper and centering around the power of wish-making - Lidl will be making fan’s wishes come true in the real world.

Once at the tour stop, visitors can submit a wish that would make Christmas truly magical for them and their family - whatever that may be. In the spirit of creating a magical Christmas with Lidl, the retailer will then grant a number of them, making dreams big or small come true.

To celebrate Lidl putting its own fizzy cola drink on the world stage for the first time ever, the supermarket has created a new Christmas ad that stars ‘Nick’, who brings the Freeway truck to life, setting off on the freeway to spread festive magic.

Joanna Gomer, Marketing Director at Lidl GB, commented “Giving back to the communities we serve is really important to us and our exciting new Freeway truck allows us to get right into the heart of them this year.

"By touring nine stops across the country, we'll be using our giant truck to hand out present boxes, give away festive food shops and grant wishes that will make dreams come true. Look out for the Freeway truck on its tour and most importantly, come join the fun.”
