Lidl has announced it will be extending its Christmas Cold Truck tour after the popularity of its initial run.

The supermarket's Freeway fizzy cola was reimagined as a truck with the main body wrapped in a Freeway label and a "life-like pull-ring back hatch" being another feature.

Between Thursday, November 14 and Sunday, December 1, it travelled to various spots across the UK.

In a statement, Lidl said: "Visiting 9 cities so far across Great Britain, including Dundee, Hull, Luton, Bournemouth and more, each stop saw a yuletide wonderland unleashed with over 2,250 present boxes packed full of Middle Aisle goodies given out, mouth-watering food samples offered and 225 ‘Golden Ticket’ Christmas shops won."

"We love nothing more than spreading Christmas cheer to the communities we serve, and to see over 10,000 people visit and enjoy the experience made extending the tour an absolute must.
