Hi,
Apparently, the two were so hot, they were inspired to write of snow, and Christmas to help cool them down.
When used of two people like this, this phrase is commonly a reference to excitement/activity of a sexual nature.

And it's also possible that it was August and they had no air conditioning, and it was simply hot out. I like to imagine warm beaches when I'm cold and snowy fields when I'm hot, so that would make sense too!

I'm inclined to think that Grammar Geek's explanation is the correct one -- but it should be easy enough to figure out with a little more context. It seems as though the original quote is about the actual composers of a specific Christmas song. Which writers and which song are we talking about? When and where were they writing?

I'd take that view as well. The writers were 'trapped' in a hot country so enjoyed thinking about snow and cold Christmases.
