Under a canopy of twinkling lights and festive music, visitors can expect a magical experience this year with seasonal games, a lucky dip for exclusive merchandise, and delicious treats served alongside ice-cold Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.
Fans can also capture the perfect seasonal selfie in front of the iconic red truck.
