Although released as a Christmas album, Fruitcake is a loose concept album, being heavily influenced by the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967).

The release of Fruitcake is preceded by the release of a limited cassette EP version which was later released as a CD, also called Fruitcake. The cassette and CD single version contains three songs, including a different version of the song "Fruitcake" and another song called "Christmas Alphabet" which is not found in the album. The album is the band's longest in terms of duration, lasting 73 minutes.
