Edinburgh locals wait in huge queue to get up close to Christmas Coca-Cola truck

Keen Edinburgh locals were seen standing in line on Sunday as they waited to get up close to the Christmas Coca-Cola truck.

Waiting in the Fort Kinnaird car park, shoppers and families appeared to have braved the grey and miserable weather for a chance to experience the festive event.

Arriving in Edinburgh on Sunday (December 18), the iconic red truck was parked in the retail outlet, with organisers setting up a 'winter market' around it for locals to enjoy.

With some visitors queuing up for the visit as early as 3am, video taken on TikTok by user @mihai2393 showed the lines still going strong hours later, with crowds waiting patiently to see the vehicle.

Offering visitors cans of Coca Cola, they were also encouraged to take an 'Elfie Selfie,' play a selection of interactive games through a QR code, and tuck into some street food as well as getting their picture with the truck.

Visitors also had the opportunity to purchase Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Coca-Cola Original Taste and have them personalised with their name or short phrase – the ideal gift for a loved one or special keepsake.

Moving around the country to spread some festive cheer before the big day, you can find the Coca-Cola truck's route here.
