That Christmas soundtrack: Every song in the Netflix film including an original by Ed Sheeran

For one, the film boasts an all-star cast that includes some of the UK's finest actors – with Bill Nighy, Brian Cox and Jodie Whittaker among the big names to take to the voice booth.

Meanwhile, the film also includes a soundtrack stuffed to the brim with classic Christmas songs. And although this one doesn't have Nighy singing Christmas Is All Around, there is a brand new original track from Ed Sheeran.

The film is adapted from a trio of picture books Curtis published in 2021, revolves around a handful of familiar preparing for Christmas Day in the fictional coastal town of Wellington-on-Sea.

But when the worst snowstorm in history hits the town, parents are separated from the children and Christmas chaos ensues.

"As a writer, that’s the thing that’s convenient about Christmas," Curtis said of the film in an exclusive interview with Radio Times magazine.

"If you’ve got a kid and his mum and she’s recently divorced, when is the pain of that going to kick in? It’s if dad doesn’t turn up at Christmas. If you’ve got two sisters, twins, one of whom is naughty and the other nervous, when does it all come to a head? When you find out if Santa Claus is leaving presents or not."

Read on for the full list of songs in That Christmas, which is available to watch on Netflix now.
