Last updated: October 17, 2026. Coca-Cola has not confirmed 2026 Holiday Caravan dates or locations for Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. This guide covers how the tour has worked in our region and will be updated when the 2026 stops are announced.
The Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan is a familiar sight each December: a convoy of red, illuminated trucks that rolls into a community, with festive music, decorations and a chance to meet Santa. It does not stay in one place. It travels to select cities, and its stops are short.
The 2026 tour has not been confirmed for our area. Here is what visitors can generally expect, which Lower Mainland cities hosted the Caravan on its last visit, and how to find the 2026 stops once they are posted.
