Alex had tagged girlfriend Perrie in his posts and shared a decorated Christmas tree and present emoji alongside his caption.
Singing sensation Perrie, 24, meanwhile, was seen in the video jokingly eating a crisp as she smiled for his video, while the sports star put his feet up on the seat in front of him as they rode in style.
The Black Magic hit-maker, who famously dated fellow X Factor contestant Zayn Malik, looked content and perfectly at ease in Alex's company.
She was seen perched up against a white cushion and cut a glamorous figure ahead of their shopping trip, sporting a baggy white jumper and dark nude lipstick across her lips.

Perrie wore her blonde tresses back from her face and up into a high ponytail, while sporting a minimum make-up to accentuate her natural beauty..
Seeming to contain his excitement, Alex didn't appear as animated as his love and kept a poker face while snapped the dark interior on his phone and flashing his white trainers.
He was then seen turning the camera to girlfriend Perrie as they sat side by side watching TV en route.
No doubt delighted to be back in each other's company, Perrie and Alex have been forced to spend long periods away from each other while she has been touring with Little Mix and he has embarked on a move to Liverpool.

But despite the long distance between them and Alex leaving his former club Arsenal for Liverpool F.C, the couple have proved their relationship is still going strong.
Not fazed by the change, however, Perrie has insisted she is 'very proud' of her boyfriend.
She told The Mirror: 'I don’t think it will be difficult. It’s going to be different – but that’s not a problem. We’ll be fine. I’m just really happy for him and very proud.'
The starlet has been dating sports star Alex since November 2016 and while the duo remained coy about their romance at first, they are now often seen documenting their relationship on social media.

Just recently, the blonde beauty shared a gushing post about her beau for her fans to see on Instagram, branding him her 'squishy'. In the snap, Perrie could be seen planting a kiss on the cheek of her boyfriend, who wore a huge smile across his face.
She penned alongside the adorable snap: 'I shall call him SQUISHY and he shall be MINE and he shall be MY squishy!'
Perrie's appearance with Alex comes after she caused a stir among Little Mix fans by not attending her bandmate Jade Thirlwall's 25th birthday bash.
Jade had shared a sexy selfie alongside Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock dressed up for her party that boasted a drag queen theme, and followers were quick to comment on the whereabouts of their blonde bandmate.

Jade captioned the snap: 'The Triple Bae Girls #Jades25thKiKi' after the US drag band The AAA (Triple A) Girls, which featured in the video for the group's latest single Power.
While many fans were quick to ask where Perrie had been, others simply assumed she was unable to attend for one reason or another.
Several commented: 'Where's Perrie?' while one rebutted: 'Perrie would never go solo so shut up y'all!'
Another added: 'Y’all need to chill.. she can’t even post a simple picture from her birthday party without y’all freaking out over why Perrie wasn’t there.. maybe Perrie was with.. idk.. her family?? They are allowed to be separated sometimes y’all.'

Perrie, meanwhile, seemed to address the speculation and expressed her disappointment not to be part of the celebrations as she shared a funny snap of her dog Haatchi via her Instagram story.
In the photo, her beloved pooch sported an electric blue wig and designer sunglasses. She wrote: ' Happy dragtastic birthday party Jade! Wish I coulda been there! #jades25kiki.'
Meanwhile, The chart-topping girlband have proved they have no intention of slowing down, after wrapping their Glory Days tour last month, and recently announced plans to play 15 stadiums around the country next July.
The group also returned to the X Factor earlier this month, on the same evening that group Rak-Su became the first boy band to win in the competition's 14-year history.
Little Mix became the first ever group to win the show, when they were crowned the victors back in 2011.
Despite their huge success, Jade admitted in their documentary that the group were seen as 'underdogs'. She explained: 'We were the underdog to win the X Factor, we were the underdogs to do well afterwards, the underdog to win this.
'And then The Brits came along and even though in my heart I felt like we really deserved it I didn't actually think it would happen,' she admitted.
There was no need to worry, however, as Little Mix scooped the Brit Award for British Single this year – and opened the show with a rendition of Shout Out to My Ex.
