Behind the scenes

 * The song became a standard in 1948 when it was recorded by American singer Gene Autry. It subsequently inspired many aspects of the Santa Claus legend. In Doctor Who, the same recording of the song was used for Turn Left and The Christmas Invasion, but the performers were not credited (the song is actually by Slade and called Merry Xmas Everybody).
 * This is also one of the songs performed by Strax in the invalid webcast Songtaran Carols.
