Whether it’s Pringles that aren’t Pringles, or a Mars Bar that’s not a Mars Bar, Lidl has a magical way of paying homage to our favourite snacks. Now it’s coming after the iconic Coca-Cola truck (which hasn’t come to Bristol yet, might I add), with the launch of the Christmas Freeway truck – which is touring Great Britain for the first time ever!
Having set off on November 14, it’s finally coming to Bristol this weekend bringing food tasting, free gifts from the middle aisle, and more. It’s heading to Bristol’s brand-new Lidl too, which only opened less than a month ago on Watson Way (which is part of the new Berwick Green development).
When can I catch the Lidl Christmas Freeway truck in Bristol?
It’s due to arrive on Sunday, December 8. Head down midday to 6PM to sample festive delights, from panettone and snowmallows to alcohol-free mulled wine and festive chutneys. The first 250 visitors will also get their hands on present boxes made up of the middle aisle of Lidl items.
That’s not all either, as 1 in 10 boxes will also contain a ‘Golden Ticket’ giving shoppers £100 towards their festive food shop. Plus, everyone can win some Lidl Plus goodies via Lidl’s Secret Boxes activation. While you’re here, step inside The Magical Wish-mas Booth and make a Christmas wish to share with your friends and family.
Where else can I see the truck?
On Saturday, December 7, the Christmas Freeway truck will also be in Cardiff at the Lidl in Llanishen. After visiting us in Bristol on Sunday, it will then drive up north – stopping in Liverpool (December 12), Manchester (December 14), Castleford (December 15) Newcastle (December 19), Glasgow (December 21) and Aberdeen (December 22).
You can find the Christmas Freeway truck on Sunday, December 8 at Lidl, Berwick Green, Wyck Beck Road, Bristol BS34 7TA.
