MSNBC producer Willie Geist, a regular on Morning Joe, identified “Christmas in Hollis” as his favorite seasonal standard.

The song appeared in the 1988 film Die Hard but was not included on the Michael Kamen soundtrack album, though it was added as a bonus track on the 2011 reissue.

Hollis, Queens, NY is the home soil of Run-DMC.

The original 12" cover was designed by Keith Harring.
