Good news - the timings of the Coca-Cola Christmas truck's arrival in Somerset have been revealed.

The iconic lorry, made famous by the 'holidays are coming' adverts, will stop off at more than 20 locations in the run-up to the festive season.

The tour will kick off in Glasgow on the November 9 – visiting towns and cities nationwide during the festive season - before making its final stop in London on December 16.

The truck was a no-show in Somerset last year, but the big red lorry will pitch up at Taunton'sAsda supermarket on Tuesday, November 13.

Dozens of Somerset Live readers were thrilled with the news but one question remained - what time will the Coca-Cola Christmas truck be in Taunton?

A brand spokeswoman confirmed residents can visit the red truck from 12pm until 8pm.

That means you will have plenty of time to visit the supermarket and take a photo alongside the truck with your loved ones or friends.

Visitors will be able to visit a winter wonderland setting and enjoy a 150ml can of Coca-Cola zero sugar, Diet Coke or Coca-Cola.

Its appearance at the Creechbarrow Road store hopes to spread some festive magic to people across the county town ahead of the big day.

Often said to mark the official start of Christmas and a regular feature of the festive TV schedule, the famous 'Holidays Are Coming' advert will also return to UK screens, 23 years since first being aired.

"We're excited to announce a brand-new route for 2018, which brings a sprinkling of festive magic to our fans, alongside an important message encouraging more people to recycle on the go."
