A Santa Cause: It's a Punk Rock Christmas was released November 11, 2003 on the label Immortal Records. A percentage of the proceeds from the album's sale were donated to The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.[2] A second edition, donating money to Cure Autism Now, was released in 2006.
The track listing on the back cover of Volume 1 is notable for several errors in the titles of songs and even the names of the bands. For example, "Christmas Night of the Living Dead" by MxPx is listed as "Christmas Night of Zombies", and Acceptance's cover of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is listed as "So This Is Christmas".
