Featuring tracks like the title song, Toyland, and The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire), the album showcases Como?s signature smooth crooner style, accompanied by lush orchestral arrangements. The title track, I Wish It Could Be Christmas Forever, composed by Nick Perito with lyrics by Richard B. Matheson, was recorded for Como?s 1981 French-Canadian Christmas television special and stands out as a historically significant piece, being his last holiday single. While the album itself did not produce major chart-topping hits, it contributes to Como?s legacy as a prolific artist with a strong holiday music catalog, following earlier successes like Winter Wonderland and White Christmas from his 1946 recordings. The album, available on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, remains a cherished part of Como?s discography for its nostalgic and heartfelt holiday spirit.
