Despite the song having no references to snow, Ed opted for a wintery theme for the video. He revealed to The Sun that the 1990s boyband East 17’s hit single “Stay Another Day” inspired the clip.

“That’s not a Christmas song but it has snow in the video. They’re all in their puffer jackets in the snow and it’s become a Christmas song,” Sheeran explained. “I’m like, ‘That’s really clever. That gets played every year now because it’s got snow in the video. So, with the ‘Perfect’ video I thought, right, let’s put snow in it.”
