"I was like, 'Why the f*ck am I not doing a Christmas song with Elton John? I might not be here tomorrow - this will be a f*cking great way to celebrate Christmas.'" "It really just hit home how stuff can just change overnight," Sheeran said. But after the death of a close friend, he decided to accept John's offer. Will you do it with me?'" Sheeran was initially hesitant about the idea, admitting that he "never really wanted to do a Christmas song". 6 on the charts, and I'm 74, and I'm still having f*cking chart hits - this is great! I want to do another Christmas song. "He rung me on Christmas Day, and he said, '"Step Into Christmas" is No. "It's f*cking great," he told the hosts, adding that it was all John's idea back in 2020. Sheeran first announced the Christmas duet back in October, when he appeared on a Dutch talk show. The special Christmas classics don't end there either, but you're just going to have to watch and enjoy it for yourself. But best of all, the video features a reenactment of East 17's "Stay Another Day" with special guests Michael McIntyre, Jonathan Ross, and Big Narstie - yes, really. It continues with Sheeran flying with The Snowman and a snowy nod to Wham's "Last Christmas". The video opens with John and Sheeran wearing matching festive Gucci tracksuits (the first of many epic coordinating outfits), singing by the piano and an open fire.

The song is simply titled "Merry Christmas" however, it's anything but simple as the video takes us through a journey of reinventing Christmas classics. Feeling festive? No? Well, allow Elton John and Ed Sheeran to change that with the their newly released Christmas single.
