Album production

The band's leader, Emmanuel Espinosa, and Rojo decided to release a Christmas album to carry a message that "we shouldn't praise Jesus on Christmas Eve, but all year long with the same passion". The album includes several traditional Christmas songs like "Venid Fieles Todos" and "Noche de Paz". It also includes the song "Es Navidad", written by Espinosa, Juan Salinas and Sergio Villanueva, and recorded by Marcos Witt for the 1996 album of the same name.
Musical arrangements were made by Espinosa, Oswaldo Burruel and Holger Fath. The album includes collaborations from Andy Salazar and Brent Milligan with a cello solo during the song "Ven a mi Corazón, Oh Cristo". The song "Santa La Noche" has a 70-voices choir. Mastering was led by Abe Martínez and Orlando Rodríguez.
