HOLIDAYS are coming...but not to St Helens, as the Coca Cola Truck tour snubs the borough this year.

In recent years the big red Coca Cola Truck synonymous with Christmas cheer, has visited our borough.

However this year, the tour is instead going to Manchester, the Trafford Centre and Cheshire Oaks, and missing out St Helens and Liverpool completely.

The tour will stop at 19 stops nationwide before making its final stop in London on Sunday, December 15.

The closest stops to us are:

Monday, December 2 at Asda Eastlands, Manchester, M11 4BD

Friday, December 6 and Saturday, December 7 at Intu Trafford Centre, Manchester, M17 8AA

Friday December 13 and Saturday, December 14 at Events Square at Cheshire Oaks, CH65 9JJ

All will be open from noon to 7pm.
