According to John's introduction in the liner notes, as opposed to doing an album of his versions of already famous songs, he chose to do a compilation with some of his favorite holiday songs by other artists.

Release and re-release
It was initially released exclusively to Hear Music outlets in Starbucks coffee shops on 10 November 2005; the sales campaign pledged to donate two dollars from every sale to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The following year, on 10 October 2006, the album was re-released to the general market; however, six songs were omitted from the new release.
The Pet Shop Boys song "It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas" was originally released in 1997 to members of their fan club, and was not available anywhere else prior to this release.
