The message spelled out “Alfie”, with two hearts drawn either side.
Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 33, Sophie, 29, Chloe, 27, Jack, 25, Daniel, 24, Luke, 22, Millie, 21, Katie, 19, James, 17, Ellie, 17, Aimee, 16, Josh, 15, Max, 14, Tillie, 12, Oscar, 11, Casper, 10, Hallie, seven, Phoebe, six, Archie, five, Bonnie, four, and Heidie, three.
Sadly the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
During their three-month scan, a day after the family had announced Sue was pregnant, the doctor was unable to find their baby boy's heartbeat.
More on the Radfords
The Radfords, who star on Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting, now call Alfie their “missing heartbeat”.
The family often visit Alfie’s grave, and leave flowers, teddies and balloons on his birthday.
Sue’s holiday message to Alfie follows fans of the family being left shocked after learning that daughter Millie Radford is feuding with her mum.
The Radford family feud started following an Instagram post about the family trip to Disneyland.

On April 4, 2023, Millie raised eyebrows after launching a war of words on her famous parents.
She took to her Instagram Story as she responded to a video Sue had shared, of her and Noel surprising some of their grandchildren with a holiday to Florida.
Millie left the post up for around an hour, after her mum, dad, and numerous siblings jetted off to the Sunshine State.
Over a screenshot of the video, Millie wrote: "Cute? But you've made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites.
"Said my piece."
Millie is accusing her parents of "making money" from their grandkids, but Sue is yet to comment on the matter on Instagram.
She also claimed that Sue and Noel left her children - Ophelia and Chester - out of the trip, despite the fact they were regular fixtures on screen in the family's reality show 22 Kids And Counting.
Continuing in the Instagram post, she said: "I recall my kids being in the whole 22 Kids And Counting - not a single sight viewing of the rest in there. Bare 1 ep."
Sue, 48, and Noel, 52, got hitched when Sue was 17 and say their marriage has never had any serious difficulties, despite the constant stream of children.
Noel underwent a vasectomy during the ninth pregnancy but then had it reversed.
The couple have claimed Heidie is their last baby, after Sue has spent around 6,000 days of her life pregnant.
