The title song was written in 1945 by \u003cstrong\u003eMel Tormé and Bob Wells\u003c\/strong\u003e — reportedly during a sweltering summer, as a way to think cool — and Cole first recorded it with his trio in 1946. His 1961 stereo recording, arranged for orchestra by Ralph Carmichael, is widely regarded as the \u003cstrong\u003edefinitive version\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it anchors this album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in the early 1960s on Capitol, the album collects Cole's readings of seasonal standards — \"O Holy Night,\" \"Silent Night,\" \"Deck the Hall,\" \"Joy to the World,\" and more — with orchestral and choral arrangements by \u003cstrong\u003eRalph Carmichael\u003c\/strong\u003e throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pressing is part of Interscope-Capitol's Definitive Sound Series, mastered from the original three-track analog master tapes and produced using the \u003cstrong\u003eOne-Step process\u003c\/strong\u003e — which cuts the grooves directly from the lacquer to the stamper for greater clarity and warmth.
