Background

Lapointe told Apple Music that he had "been wanting to do a Christmas album for 15 years" but that "people raised their eyebrows when I told them about the project". He further explained that the songs explore the "bittersweet lightness of the holiday season".[3]

Critical reception

Reviewing the album for La Presse, Josée Lapointe called the album a "nice gift" from Pierre Lapointe, describing it as "full of joyful winks and with just enough sadness and nostalgia, which should pleasantly furnish our cold winter evenings".[1]
