The five tracks are a mix of traditional carols, the Christmas standard "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and the title track, which is an original composition by Steve Hindalong and Derri Daugherty. The Apple Music version also includes "Babe in the Straw," the Choir's 2010 re-recording of a song they wrote for Caedmon's Call to perform on City on a Hill: It's Christmas Time in 2002.[2]
