The album is principally a collection of Christmas carols but also includes the non-Christmas title track "Dream a Dream", Church's first foray into a more pop-influenced genre, composed by James Shearman and Simon Greenaway based on the melody from Fauré's "Pavane" with lyrics by Sam Babenia.
''Dream a Dream'' was also the biggest-selling holiday album of 2000 in the United States with sales of 1,077,000 according to Nielsen/SoundScan.<ref name=sales1>{{cite web |url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/43185/chart-watch-extra-bring-on-christmas/ |title=Chart Watch Extra: Bring On Christmas! |work=Chart Watch |publisher=Yahoo |author=Paul Grein |accessdate=14 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091211194511/http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/43185/chart-watch-extra-bring-on-christmas |archivedate=11 December 2009 }}</ref> On 6 December 2000, ''Dream a Dream'' was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of one million copies in the U.S.<ref name=RIAA>{{cite web |url=http://riaa.org/goldandplatinumdata.php?resultpage=1&table=SEARCH_RESULTS&action=&title=Dream%20a%20Dream&artist=Charlotte%20Church&format=ALBUM&debutLP=&category=SOLO&sex=&releaseDate=&requestNo=&awardDescription=&after=&before=&startMonth=1&endMonth=12&startYear=1958&endYear=2010&sort=Artist&perPage=25 |title=RIAA Searchable Database – Gold & Platinum Certifications |work=Recording Industry Association of America |accessdate=14 December 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> By 5 December 2008, the album had accumulated total sales of 1,630,000 copies in the U.S. according to SoundScan.<ref name=sales2>{{cite web |url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/23093/chart-watch-extra-the-top-40-christmas-albums/ |title=Chart Watch Extra: The Top 40 Christmas Albums |work=Billboard |accessdate=14 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217004737/http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/23093/chart-watch-extra-the-top-40-christmas-albums/ |archivedate=17 December 2008 }}</ref>
