Erding – For more than 20 years, the Coca-Cola Christmas trucks have been enchanting people and getting them in the mood for a contemplative Christmas season.

This year, three of the legendary Christmas trucks will stop on Tuesday, December 13th in Erding.

From 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., a magical world full of festive lights, delicious Christmas scents and unique experiences awaits visitors: you can, among other things, take pictures of yourself in an oversized snow globe or meet Santa Claus.

As a small (before) Christmas present from Santa Claus, every visitor can take home a Coca-Cola glass bottle with their own name or the name of a loved one.

The annual Christmas tour has been an integral part of Coca-Cola's Christmas program since 1997.

What started as an idea for a TV commercial has now become one of the biggest highlights of the Christmas season for millions of people.

Contrary to existing myths, today's Santa Claus is not an invention of Coca-Cola, because: Dutch emigrants brought their Sinterklaas tradition across the Atlantic to Nieuw Amsterdam, today's New York, at the beginning of the 17th century.

Inspired by the character of Sinterklaas, The Coca-Cola Company created their own version of Santa Claus in 1931.

To this day, this newly interpreted image of Santa shapes the image of Santa Claus for many people around the world.
