Ed Sheeran<\/strong> is getting into the Christmas spirit early. The singer has penned<\/a> a new song for the upcoming animated holiday movie\u00a0That Christmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The song is called \u201cUnder the Tree\u201d and will be out Dec. 6, the same day the movie hits Netflix.<\/p>\n

That Christmas<\/em> is written by Richard Curtis<\/strong>, whom Ed previously worked with on the film Yesterday<\/em>. It\u2019s based on Curtis\u2019 trilogy of children\u2019s books and will feature the voice of Brian Cox<\/strong> as Santa, as well as Fiona Shaw<\/strong>, Jodie Whittaker<\/strong>\u00a0and Bill Nighy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scene that we wrote this song for is so heartbreaking, but so real for many people at Christmas spending it without the ones they love, for so many reasons,\u201d Ed says in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to work with my older brother on this which is such a rarity and a gift to work so closely with my only sibling, it felt so good to create something my children would watch, with their uncle, based in the country they live in,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n

The movie, Curtis says, is set in Ed\u2019s home county of Suffolk,\u00a0England.<\/p>\n
