They also recreate The Snowman’s Walking In The Air, which was a hit for Aled Jones.

And showbiz pals Jonathan Ross, Michael McIntyre and Big Narstie to pay homage to East 17.

Sir Elton, 74, and Ed, 30, are tipped to be festive number one.

Ed — whose albums are named after mathematical symbols such as Plus, Multiply and Divide — said: “The music video is wild.

“We’ve parodied all the great British music videos that came at Christmas.”
