Yes you heard that right, the iconic red truck will be stopping off in Leeds sooner than you think.
Christmas is just around the corner, and you know what that means? The red glow of the Coca-Cola Christmas Truck is on its way.
The beast of a truck stops off in towns and cities across the country, with this tour celebrating a whole 15 years since the truck first came to the UK.
At every stop, the truck transforms into a winter wonderland decked out with twinkling lights and more to really get you in the spirit.
The Coca-Cola Christmas Truck will be coming to Leeds tomorrow (Wednesday 3 December), stopping at Asda on Killingbeck Drive in Seacroft from 12-8pm.
Guests will be able to play seasonal games and win Coca-Cola merch whilst of course enjoying an ice cold Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, or Diet Coke while soaking it all up.
New for this year, visitors will be able to create their own personalised Christmas baubles with their own photos on.
Coca-Cola is partnering with FareShare, the UK’s leading food redistribution charity, and their donation this year will provide the equivalent of one million meals to those in need across the country.

Graham Kelly, Head of Fundraising at FareShare, said: “We are so grateful to Coca-Cola for their continued support. This generous donation means thousands of people will receive nutritious meals this festive season, strengthening communities and creating lasting change.”
Elodie Peribere, Senior Marketing Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain and Ireland, added: “Coca-Cola remains synonymous with Christmas, and we’re delighted to bring back our iconic Truck Tour.
“This year, we’re encouraging everyone to ‘Refresh Your Holidays’ - taking a pause to create uplifting moments with loved ones while supporting important causes like FareShare.”
So get your Santa hats and make sure you're thirsty, because the Coca-Cola truck is coming to town. We'll see you there.
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
Leeds has been crowned the best city in the UK for foodies outside of London
Clementine Hall
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
