one of the primary inspirations for "holly & ivy" came from her father's album "the magic of christmas" (1960). cole called it one of "the nicest, warmest christmas albums that i've heard", and described the original version of the 1945 track "the christmas song (chestnuts roasting on an open fire)" as "a darling sweet song" that has yet to be imitated by other original christmas songs. in an interview with npr, cole said that: "it took 15 years into [her] career before [she] felt comfortable and confident enough to even attempt at singing my father's music." "holly & ivy" includes three cover version of nat king cole's songs: "caroling, caroling", "the first noel", and "the christmas song (chestnuts roasting on an open fire)". they were each recorded as a tribute to him. waldron said the album was "keeping the holiday spirit in the family". cole would later re-record "the christmas song (chestnuts roasting on an open fire)" as a posthumous duet with her father on her 1999 christmas album "the magic of christmas". the song also appears on cole's 2008 christmas album ("") and her 1995 collaborative christmas live album with plácido domingo and josé carreras ("a celebration of christmas").
