The festive season is a time to enjoy lots of Christmas-related events and now another is coming to Manchester. While you might’ve seen the return of the iconic Coca-Cola Christmas truck, Lidl and now Irn-Bru have also launched their own versions to tour the UK this winter. The launch of the Irn-Bru 2024 Christmas truck tour comes after a survey revealed that a quarter of Brits have ‘the fear’ after their work Christmas parties with almost half (46%) admitting to worrying about doing something a bit silly or having next day awkwardness with colleagues (45%).
Irn-Bru said whatever regret we’ve inflicted upon ourselves, a quarter of us don’t want to go back into the office the next day and 15% even call in sick.

The Christmas truck will stop at four locations but a hotline has been set up on 07598402867 so people can share their stories or nominate someone to receive a drop from Irn-Bru.

The brand has launched Christmas jumpers which are available at its website, linked above. Kenny Nicholson, Head of Brand at Irn-Bru, said: “We all know that dreaded post Christmas party feeling and IRN-BRU is here to help.
“It’s one of the biggest nights of the year for the office, but no one wants to feel like an idiot - or as we would say, fanny - the morning after. “So this Christmas, we’re creating a festive truck dropping off the ultimate pick-me-up when they need it most.”.
