The CD was sent to radio stations and original Weezer fanclub members only as a seasonal surprise and later were posted as MP3s in the A/V section of weezer.com.

The album art for Winter Weezerland is actually the original back cover of the Christmas CD. It features Rivers in a Santa suit standing on the roof of his home circa 2000.

Summer Songs of 2000 (also known as SS2K) are a group of songs that were demoed in 2000 and performed live by Weezer on their comeback summer tour that year. It is also the defacto name of an "album" created and leaked by Rivers Cuomo on the internet with altered versions of the songs in 2001.

After a flurry of solo demos in late 1999 and early 2000, Cuomo reconvened Weezer in order to lay down some recordings and prepare for an upcoming tour. The band, (then consisting of Cuomo, Mikey Welsh, Pat Wilson, and Brian Bell), were made an offer to join that year's Vans Warped Tour, a popular annual punk and alt rock festival. This exposure led to a series of dates on their own as well. Weezer's setlists during the tour typically consisted of classics from The Blue Album, Pinkerton, a couple of B-sides, and a rotation of as many as four of fourteen new songs. Many fans assumed that these songs would be recorded for a third Weezer album, and shortly thereafter, when referencing the songs, labeled them the "Summer Songs of 2000" (commonly abbreviated as SS2K).
