The album features the line-up of Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston, fourth member Bobby McVay having parted with the band earlier in the year.

Christmas with the Fizz was in the planning stages early in 2018, after the group had experienced chart success with their The F-Z of Pop album in late 2017.

"[1] Member Bobby McVay left the band in February, due to family commitments in Italy, reducing the act to a three-piece.

Mike Stock chose the majority of the songs, while member Mike Nolan selected "Mull of Kintyre" as a festive-period song that he'd liked; the group themselves chose "White Christmas" as they'd performed it live a number of times through the years.

[6][7][8] Christmas with the Fizz met with mid to positive reviews, with The Herald saying that "[the group] were obviously loving every second of recording these songs and it radiates through the whole playlist".
