The EP received favorable reviews from music critics. It debuted at number 34 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and at number 3 on the Billboard Holiday Albums ranking in the United States. The EP sold 35,000 copies in its first week of release in the US and has sold over 180,000 copies worldwide. Christmas & Chill was originally only available as a digital download, but on November 18, 2016, the EP was reissued on CD in Japan with a new artwork. The EP gained renewed interest when it was reissued as vinyl LPs in November 2019. A "naughty version" of "Santa Tell Me" with suggestive lyrics was released on the digital edition of the EP and was also released as a hidden track on the vinyl LPs.
