Ed Sheeran has released the music video for his new Christmas song – which was filmed in Suffolk.

The Suffolk superstar, who grew up in Framlingham, released his new video for the song Under the Tree on Tuesday evening.

The song is also set to feature in the new festive film That Christmas which is set to be available for streaming on Netflix on Wednesday, December 4.

Parts of the music video were filmed in Southwold, with the fruit and veg shop Little Gems featuring in the clip.

The film has been written by Richard Curtis and stars Brian Cox as Santa, Killing Eve actress Fiona Shaw, former Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker and Love Actually’s Bill Nighy.

The Christmas film is set in Suffolk and follows characters in a fictional seaside town called Wellington-on-Sea.

Speaking previously, Sheeran said that Curtis approached him about the film two years ago.

He said: “It was just sketches and voices, but it blew me away.

“So emotional, yet so heart-warmingly funny, like all Richard Curtis movies. I find since having kids, there’s a real lack of great animated children’s Christmas movies, so I thought this was such an amazing thing to make and put into the world.”

Earlier this month the pair were spotted in Southwold along with film crews.

The film crews were recording Sheeran by the beach huts as part of the music video.
