Festive cheer will soon fill the city - but the famous Coca-Cola truck will not be visiting Southampton this Christmas.

It is the second year running that the truck will not be rolling into Westquay shopping centre as part of its UK tour.

The last time the truck made a visit to city was two years ago, and this year, the nearest destination to us will be Whiteley Shopping Centre.

The arrival of the truck has marked the beginning of Christmas for many cities and towns for a number of years.

In previous years, visitors got the chance to wander through an enchanted wonderland, complete with seasonal music, before taking a photo with the truck and enjoying a free drink of Coca-Cola.

Hundreds visited the iconic symbol of Christmas at Westquay in 2017.
