K-dramas are known for their OSTs. Every OST has its own vibe and feel to it. Some depict romance, anger and hatred while others being up beat punk music, these songs play a major role in depicting the mood of a situation and setting an overall narrative in the course of the drama. V has already sung many other OSTs as well which have been popular amongst audience as well therefore the success of Christmas Tree is of no surprise to the audience.

The song is a lighthearted song overall that is destined to depict a deep meaning through its lyrics. The premises of the drama that the song was set in is about two lovers who fell in love but are later separated.  They reunite with the sheer means of spark they had for one another and for the work they were doing. 

The lyrics of the song capture this feeling of uncertainty, vulnerability and the idea of having good days after the dark bad ones is captured perfectly in song. Moreover, the slow music that accompanies the lyrics makes it more emotionally connecting with the audience.
