I think you may have some mistaken impressions of the US? I live here but have never heard of a Coca-Cola Christmas truck.
That said, it's not impossible that I'm just oblivious.

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.
Maybe its a east coast thing
I've only left the east coast once in my entire nearly 40 years.
Did you happen to leave the east coast in 1995 and miss the commercial?
As a kid, I was allowed to watch two shows of my choice per week (I chose Power Rangers and Batman: TAS) plus what my parents watched (FRIENDS, Simpsons and Seinfeld). I saw clips of other shows in commercials and such, but didn't really see other shows until approximately 2007.
I didn't really see many commercials until then.
