Since its release, it has topped the charts within the holiday season.

Since that time, it has become part of the holiday music tradition. The song was dedicated to the soldiers of the World War who didn't make it home for Christmas. Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire This song was never intended for Christmas. Actually, it was written in the middle of summer.
