Lucas Cruikshank (a/k/a Fred), who has become the most popular international sensation from his YouTube series, “Fred,” with over 380 million views and 1.4 million subscribers, will debut his Christmas album, It’s Hackin’ Christmas with Fred. The album will be available on iTunes and Amazon.com which debuts on November 10. A limited number of CDs will be available on November 15 at Justice. The album is a new and fresh interpretation of classic Christmas songs such as “Jingle Bells” and “12 Days of Christmas” as well as two original songs – “Christmas Cash” and “Christmas is Creepy.”

The music video for “Christmas Cash” will premiere on November 10 on youtube.com/fred and will be included as a bonus with purchase of the album. Cruikshank co-wrote the original songs with veteran songwriters Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil.

Two percent of the proceeds from “Its Hackin’ Christmas with Fred” will be donated to the charity NUTS FOR SQUIRRELS which is dedicated to banking acorns so that all squirrels can make it through the cold and snowy winter. Fred would like us all to be “nuts for squirrels” this Christmas season.

Cruikshank’s phenomenal YouTube success has ignited a Hollywood career. He starts production next month on the feature film version of “Fred” and will also star in the film “Emo Boy” based on the comic book series. In December he guest stars on “Hannah Montana.” He recently won a Teen Choice Award for Favorite Online Celebrity. He has also recently appeared on an episode of “iCarly”.
