Last 12 months, NME included ‘Christmas in Hollis’ of their record of finest hip-hop Christmas songs, writing that Run-DMC “created the coolest throwback rap Christmas song that still gets played,” including: “The hip-hop duo captured the upbeat spirit of Christmas with their spritely tale of having yule logs by the fireplace whilst drinking eggnog under the mistletoe.”

Speaking to The New York Post in regards to the observe in 2017, Run-DMC defined how the have been reluctant to make the observe at first, fearing that it was too just like Kurtis Blow’s 1979 music ‘Christmas Rappin’’.
“In Hip Hop culture, you can’t duplicate what’s already been done, so we weren’t sure about doing it,” Darryl McDaniel (DMC) stated.
However they have been satisfied by their publicist Bill Adler, when the band’s late DJ Jam Master Jay determined to pattern Clarence Carter’s 1968 observe ‘Back Door Santa’.
“At this time of year, I can’t walk five steps at the mall without someone shouting the lyrics to ‘Christmas in Hollis’ at me,” DMC stated of the observe’s legacy.
