HUNDREDS have turned out to see the Coca Cola Christmas lorry during its stop in Taunton.

Crowds have been gathering throughout the day for selfies with the heavy haulage favourite, which tours the country each festive season.

Visitors were able to enjoy freebies and take snaps with the truck at Asda, with the crew set to be at the site until 7pm.

And this year, the drinks giant has announced a partnership with national homelessness charity, Crisis.

Coca Cola will donate 10p for each can recycled by visitors at the trust tour.

Kris Robbens, marketing director at Coca-Cola Great Britain and Ireland, said: “Christmas is all about sharing special moments with friends and loved ones and we’re looking forward to spreading the festive cheer across Great Britain again this year with our iconic Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour.

“While Christmas is a moment of celebration, it’s also incredibly important to remember those that need support throughout the season.

"So, we’re really pleased to partner with Crisis and whilst guests at the tour enjoy a refreshing Coca-Cola zero sugar, when they recycle their can, they’ll be helping to support an amazing charity.”
