The Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan, illuminated by 25,000 red and white sparkling lights, will roll into Stone Mountain today and spread the spirit of the holidays, by donating $20,000 to local children.

At 6:15 p.m., the caravan will stop at the Walmart Supercenter, 1825 Rockbridge Road, Stone Mountain, as part of a 15-day metro Atlanta visit.

Coca-Cola will make a $20,000 donation to the local Toys for Tots organization to help provide underprivileged kids with gifts this holiday season. People can visit the Caravan’s festive wonderland where laptop computers will be available for people to go online and donate My Coke Rewards points to Toys for Tots as part of a nationwide online gift drive through MyCokeRewards.com.
