The album was recorded inside the Kongshavn Studio i Kristiansand between September–October 2009. Bjørn Ole Rasch produced the album, and the songs are based on the 2008 and 2009 Elisabeth Andreassen and Rein Alexander church tours. The first tour, "Julekonsert med Rein Alexander & Elisabeth Andreassen", was carried out in November–December 2009 and becoming a major success, it was followed up by the "Julenatt" tour before Christmas 2009. While most songs originate from the 2009 tour, even songs from the 2008 tour appear on the album.

The album contains older and newer songs sung in Swedish, Norwegian, English and Latin. Among the songs are Glade jul (Glade jul, dejlige jul/Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht/Stilla natt, heliga natt), O helga natt, Deilig er jorden (Schönster Herr Jesu), Little Drummer Boy "Det lyser i stille grender", John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and Carola Häggkvist's "Himlen i min famn".
