He may be 77-years-old, but Paul McCartney unleashed his inner child on Wednesday as he toasted the New Year with a festive bash. 

The Beatles legend was joined by his daughter Stella, 48, for the celebrations, with the pair donning large novelty gold hats with 'Happy New Year' emblazoned across the front. 

Stella uploaded a video of the pair dancing and singing along and wrote: '2020 vision with a sprinkle of family foolishness on top!'.

The fashion designer continued: 'Lesson in life? Never take yourself too seriously... x Stella'. 

During the short clip, Stella sang to the camera: 'I feel your love in a heartbeat', while Paul bobbed along in the background. 

After pulling some animated faces, the Help hitmaker then put his hat on Stella's head but it soon toppled off, due to her energetic dancing.

Two days before Christmas, Paul and his wife Nancy, 60, arrived at JFK Airport, ahead of their annual festive trip to St. Barts. 

Earlier in the month, Paul revealed he has made an album of carols – but only his family are allowed to listen to it.

The musician recorded the singles at his home studio after struggling to find good Christmas songs. He says he will never release the tracks.

'Years ago I thought there's not very good Christmas records,' he told BBC Radio 4's World At One. 'I like something traditional and simple and easy so I went into my studio and I made one. 

'This has not been released it's just for the family. It gets brought out each year.

'The kids like it and it's kind of traditional and now it's the grandkids getting indoctrinated with my carols record. Then there's the booze... It's all very jolly.'

The rock icon, who has five children and eight grandchildren, had a festive hit in 1979 with Wonderful Christmastime, which reached No.8 in the Irish charts.

He also spoke in the interview of how he is traditional when it comes to Christmas dinner – although, of course, it must be vegetarian. 

He recalled how his late wife Linda used to make a 'macaroni turkey' – chilling macaroni cheese into a hard mass before frying it – so he had something to carve. Now his family gets a vegetarian roast.

'When we first came down to London from Liverpool there was one restaurant called Cranks, which gives you the idea of how people thought of veggies,' he said.

'Linda and I were on a farm and there were lambs in the field and we were eating a leg of lamb and we didn't make the connection and suddenly we went 'Oh' and the light bulb went off and we said, "Should we do something about this?".'
