With a Freeway label wrapped cylindrical body and life-like pull-ring back hatch, the instantly recognisable and show-stopping truck has been created to spread the magic of Christmas across Great Britain.
Once at the tour stop, visitors can submit a wish that would make Christmas truly magical for them and their family - whatever that may be.

Lidl will also be handing out its delicious festive food at the pop-up wonderland. Visitors can step inside a life size present box, ringing a bell for a surprise season’s treatings, or try Snowmallows, festive biscuits and more on show.
To celebrate Lidl putting its own fizzy cola drink on the world stage for the first time ever, the supermarket has created a new Christmas ad that stars ‘Nick’, who brings the Freeway truck to life, setting off on the freeway to spread festive magic.
