The song is played as a Christmas song because of the mention of sleigh bells. Sleighs will forever be associated with Christmas, although throughout the winter, various farms throughout the Northern states will have sleigh rides long after Christmas. Look at such songs like "Sleigh Ride" and "Winter Wonderland". These are really winter love songs disguised as Christmas carols because of the mention of these. "White Winter Hymnal" by The Fleet Foxes is another song about winter that doesn\'t get played at Christmas time. Weird.
