The Night Before Christmas (album)

The Night Before Christmas is the eleventh studio album and first Christmas album by American actor and singer David Hasselhoff. It was released on November 8, 2004, by Edel Records in Europe. Shock Records released the album a year later in Australia.

Reception
The album received generally negative reviews.

Idolator said: "Who wouldn’t want to be serenaded by The Hoff at Christmas? No? David dusts off all the classics like "Deck The Halls" and "Silent Night," and crosses cultural borders by assaulting eardrums in languages other than English, via German and Spanish contributions to the Yuletide soundtrack from Hell."

In 2013, New York Post ranked the album as number 1 worst celebrity Christmas album, saying the album spread "Christmas fear instead of cheer".

In 2015 CBC Music listed the album as one of the 15 worst Christmas albums of all time.

In 2015, Clint Davis from NBC listed the album as one of the 8 most bizarre Christmas albums.

In 2016, Matthew Dunn from news.com.au said "nothing says scraping the bottom of the barrel quite like David Hasselhoff’s The Night Before Christmas" in an explanation of why he dislikes Christmas.
