A week after Roy Castle reached number 40 with his Christmas song, Tommy Steele did the same with this, which as the title suggests is also a Christmas song.
It was written by Hal Moore and Bill Fredericks and was originally recorded by Mitch Miller but did not chart in the UK.
This record meant Tommy Steele became the first act to have both a number 1 single and a number 40 single, his 2nd single "Singing the Blues" topping the charts in 1956. This would be his penultimate single, his final hit being "The Writing On The Wall" which reached number 30 the following year.
