The track samples Clarence Carter's 1968 holiday song " Back Door Santa", as well as " Frosty the Snowman", " Jingle Bells", and " Joy to the World" and features a siren whistle. The title refers to Hollis, Queens, the New York City neighborhood in which the members of Run-DMC grew up. In 2000, thirteen years after it was first released, it reached number 78 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. (Other contributing artists included Whitney Houston, Sting, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Madonna, and Bob Seger.) The track was produced by the group along with Rick Rubin and was originally released as a single in 1987 by A&M. After Bill-who was then the director of publicity for Rush Productions, which managed Run-DMC-gave the band the idea for "Christmas in Hollis," they changed their minds and agreed to be on the album.
When Bill Adler first asked Run-DMC to contribute to A Very Special Christmas-the first in a series of various artists compilation albums produced to benefit the Special Olympics-they refused. " Christmas in Hollis" is a single by Run-DMC that was included on two 1987 Christmas compilation albums featuring various artists: A Very Special Christmas (A&M 3911) and Christmas Rap (Profile 1247).
