Guess I'm oblivious.

The only Christmas-associated truck I've ever seen is the fire truck driving Santa around the town, something that always seems to be enjoyed by the locals.

I know that Coca-Cola associated themselves with Christmas via ... What was it, polar bears? That was already gross, but having a truck driving around for the same purpose seems even more disgusting.

Thanks!

It’s been suggested that the red coat and white edging for Santa’s outfit is completely invented by Coca Cola

I don't know if that's true, but it's very plausible.
