In November Hammond released his first Christmas album, aptly titled Christmas - 15 tracks that blend traditional carols, such as "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful," with contemporary holiday classics like "Last Christmas" and "Driving Home for Christmas." The album also includes a new rendition of his 1989 holiday single "Under the Christmas Tree" and introduces an original composition, "I Wish You a Merry Christmas."
