It was released on a compilation album Soul Christmas in 1968. The track is in a 12-bar blues format. The lyrics are sexually suggestive, not having much to do with Christmas as a holiday. Run-D.M.C. sampled the song for "Christmas in Hollis". In late December 2005, The Black Crowes released a free download version of this song, complete with a horn section. This track can be heard in the film Mission: Impossible III. The Australian band Jet has also covered this song. It is available on their Japanese-only "Rare Tracks" compilation album. It was also performed by Bon Jovi and released on the A Very Special Christmas compilation album produced to benefit the Special Olympics. For unknown reasons, "Back Door Santa" was replaced on later pressings of the first "A Very Special Christmas" with the song "I Wish Every Day Could Be Like Christmas" also performed by Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi later released the track along with two other Christmas themed songs on the single for Please Come Home for Christmas In 2008, Elliott Yamin included a cover of the song in his Christmas album "My Kind of Hoiday" The song also appeared on the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother."
