"Step Into Christmas" was released in 1973, likely the most prolific and succesful year of Elton John's career. He began that year with the January release of the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player. Then, in October, came the release of the legendary Good-bye Yellow Brick Road double-album. The two albums combined produced a total of six hit singles, two from the former album and four from the latter. In late November of that year (after the first two single releases from GYBR), "Step Into Christmas" was released as a non-LP single. It reached #23 on the UK charts. Later, when the 1974 album Caribou was remastered and re-issued in 1995, the song was included on the CD as a bonus track. It's also been included on other Elton John compilation CDs.Most recently, the song has appeared on the 2005 Christmas fundraiser CD Elton John's Christmas Party. The CD was originally sold through music outlets located in Starbucks coffee shops, then later given a general release. Two dollars from each sale went to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The CD featured Christmas/seasonal songs from various artists, such as The Pretenders, U2, Kate Bush, The Eagles, and The Band. "Step Into Christmas" was the disc's opening track.
