Taron Egerton loves a trip home to the Welsh town he grew up in and this Christmas is no different as the Black Bird and Rocketman star was in Aberystwyth for the festive season making more memories with his family and taking a dip in the bracing Irish sea.
The 33-year-old, who may have been born in Birkenhead and lived in LlanfairPG as a child, posted to his Instagram that there is 'nowhere he'd rather be' than at home in Aber with his nearest and dearest, including his uncle Phil who makes the Christmas dinner stuffing.
In the sweet post, shared on Christmas Day, the Golden Globe-winning star wrote: "I'm making braised red cabbage. My uncle Phil (86) is preparing the turkey with his signature stuffing. Just like he has since I was a little boy. Nowhere I would rather be."

Taron's uncle is seen holding onto some onion peel as the pair pose for an impromptu picture in a cosy kitchen. Later the actor is seen wishing his followers a Merry Christmas after just going in the sea.
The star's fondness for his hometown is no secret and he's often sharing posts from his home visits. In the summer he gave a brilliant shout out to his favourite chicken shop in the town which he said was as good as any restaurant in London. He's also said in the past: "My heart is in Aberystwyth. It is absolutely the centre of the universe for me. It's where my heart lies, I think of it every day."
This year saw Taron star in the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ show Black Bird opposite Ray Liotta and briefly appearing in the West End in Cock, before sadly leaving the production for personal reasons. you can read more on that here.
In 2023, though, he has a number of projects due to be released including the film version of Tetris and thriller Carry On opposite Jason Bateman. He'll also be returning to Apple TV with Firebug which he will star in and executive produce.
