The album, produced by Dillon's musical partner and husband Sam Lakeman, features eight arrangements of traditional carols and three original compositions. The titular track “Upon a Winter's Night” was written by Sam Lakeman and the couple's son, Noah,[1] while “Standing by My Christmas Tree”[2] and “Mother Mary”[3] were written by Dillon and Lakeman.
