Background and promotion
Archuleta started work on the album in January, while the weather was still cold in his new hometown of Nashville. In an interview with Radio.com, Archuleta revealed that he wanted to write "one of each kind of Christmas song" meaning they had to either be fun, spiritual, or wintry. This led to the creation of "Christmas Every Day", "He Is Born", and the title track "Winter in the Air".{{Cite news|url=https://www.radio.com/blogs/lauren-hoffman/exclusive-david-archuletas-winter-air-album-brings-universal-feeling|title=EXCLUSIVE: David Archuleta's 'Winter In The Air' Album Brings a Universal Feeling|work=Radio.com|accessdate=December 15, 2018}}
The album was supported with a Winter in the Air Tour that began November 26 in Los Angeles and ran through December 21 in Richfield, Utah.
