It is an unsettled question where and when Pierpont originally composed the song that would become known as "Jingle Bells".

Although it has no original connection to Christmas, it became associated with winter and Christmas in the 1860s and 1870s, and it was featured in a variety of parlor song and college anthologies in the 1880s. It was first recorded in 1889 on an Phonograph cylinder, Edison cylinder; this recording, believed to be the first Christmas record, is lost media, lost, but an 1898 recording—also from Edison Records—survives.
