Another Twitter user wrote, 'I understand that the tour can't go ahead but you could still send the truck out to drive around and lift some spirits, you don't see the truck stopping in the ad but you do see the smiles and excitement in people when it drives by.'
'If you like this idea I'll drive it in cork'
Coca-Cola replied, 'Unfortunately the truck won't be touring at all this year, but we do have lots of additional festive treats in store.'
'We hope to see you there in 2021'
Thanks for your message, Paul. Unfortunately the truck won't be touring at all this year, but we do have lots of additional festive treats in store. We hope to see you there in 2021 💫🎅
