"The Christmas Song" was recorded during Weezer's self-produced pre-production demo sessions for ''The Green Album''.  It was first released on the Los Angeles-area radio station [[KROQ]]'s 2000 edition of their annual christmas compilation, that year entitled ''Kevin and Bean: The Real Slim Santa''.  It was then remixed and partially re-recorded at producer [[Ric Ocasek]]'s urging, with slightly different lyrics.  This recording is considered the 'standard' version, and is the lead track on ''The Christmas CD'', aka ''Winter Weezerland''.

Noticeable differences in the two versions are a cymbal count-in on the original (removed for the remix), and a short bit of final drums on the remix that was inaudible on the original due to an early fade.
