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 recently visited Greater Manchester), with the launch of the Lidl Christmas Freeway truck – which is touring Great Britain for the first time ever!
Having set off on November 14, it’s finally coming to Manchester this weekend bringing food tasting, free gifts from the middle aisle, and more. It’s heading to a Lidl store too, which can be found in Stretford, right near the home of Manchester United FC, Old Trafford.
When can I catch the Lidl Christmas Freeway truck in Manchester?
It’s due to arrive on Saturday, December 14. Head down from 8am to 6pm to sample Favorina Chocolate Lollies and Freeway Cola as well as 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 Thursday, December 12, the Christmas Freeway truck will also be in Liverpool, then it drive up to Manchester (December 14), followed by Castleford (December 15), Newcastle (December 19), Glasgow (December 21) and Aberdeen (December 22).
You can find the Christmas Freeway truck on Saturday, December 14 at Lidl, 750 Chester Rd, Old Trafford, Stretford, Manchester, M32 0WZ.
