'''''The Christmas Present''''' is the twelfth studio album by English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, and his first studio album since 2016's ''The Heavy Entertainment Show''. It was released on 22 November 2019, and features guest appearances from Tyson Fury, Rod Stewart, Jamie Cullum, Helene Fischer and Bryan Adams. Williams performed a pair of concerts dubbed "The Robbie Williams Christmas Party" at the SSE Arena on 16 and 17 December 2019 in promotion of the album.<ref name="NME">{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/blogs/robbie-williams-the-christmas-present-sse-arena-2558776|title=Robbie Williams wants to take Christmas back from Michael Bublé – and I am here for it|website=NME|last=Bassett|first=Jordan|date=18 October 2019|access-date=20 October 2019}}</ref>
==Background== In a Q&A with BBC Radio 2 in December 2012, Williams was asked if he would consider doing a Christmas album. "You bet", Williams stated. "I used to hate Christmas, but my wife Ayda has instilled me with Christmas spirit. It used to be a time of year that I didn't care too much for, but she loves it, loves it like a child, and because of that, I now love it, it's a very very special time of the year, and because of that, yes I'm willing to do a Christmas album, and I will do one at one point".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rddaUYtI9Nk | title=Ask Robbie Williams - Live! BBC Radio 2 - YouTube | website=YouTube | date=13 December 2012 }}</ref>
Williams began recording the album in June 2019, just before the final leg of his Wynn Las Vegas residency, and concluded in Vancouver in October 2019. Williams joked that he was going to call the album ''Achtung Bublé'', a play on words of the U2 album "Achtung Baby", and in reference to Michael Bublé's "monopoly" on the Christmas music market, which he said "must end now".<ref name="NME"/> Williams was asked in an interview whether or not there were any plans for Bublé to sing on the album and he answered: "He sang with me on an album of mine called ''Swings Both Ways''. You sort of get it in your head that you can only use that token once. I might be wrong. I should have got him involved."><ref>{{Cite web |last=Eames |first=Tom |date=28 November 2019 |title=Robbie Williams interview: "I have no chance of being the Christmas number one" |url=https://www.smoothradio.com/artists/robbie-williams/interview-christmas-album-buble-video/ |access-date=2020-11-27 |website=Smooth |publisher=Global |language=en}}</ref>
In an interview with Smooth FM, Williams stated: "I wrote 50 songs for the Christmas Present record. And you can’t write 50 songs in one month because it’s Christmas and you feel Christmassy, so you have to do it when the fancy takes you."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Eames |first=Tom |date=25 November 2020 |title=Robbie Williams interview: "I don't look at the charts anymore, it would be a miracle if I got there' |url=https://www.smoothradio.com/artists/robbie-williams/interview-new-christmas-song-new-album/ |access-date=2020-11-27 |website=Smooth |language=en}}</ref>
Williams initially aspired to cover "Fairytale of New York" as a duet with Britney Spears which the latter declined due to being on hiatus.<ref>{{cite news |last=Griffin |first=Louise |date=22 November 2019 |title=Britney Spears turned down Fairytale Of New York duet with Robbie Williams |newspaper=Metro |publisher=DMG Media |location=UK |url=https://metro.co.uk/2019/11/22/britney-spears-turned-fairytale-new-york-duet-robbie-williams-11200702/ |access-date=11 September 2020}}</ref>

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 52 based on 4 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref name="Metacritic"/>
Jordan Bassett of ''NME'' rated the album 3/5 stars, writing: "The original compositions are richer than the covers. The galloping 'Darkest Night' opens with the fabulous line ''"December in London / Think I’ve just been made redundant"'' and the optimistic 'New Year's Day' borrows quite liberally from George Michael's 'Freedom' on a jubilant bridge where Robbie and a gospel choir rapturously exclaim, ''"Oh! It’s an energy! Oh! The memories!"''"<!-- Punctuation in quote is as it appears at source, and should not be changed.--><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bassett |first=Jordan |date=2019-11-22 |title=Robbie Williams – 'The Christmas Present' review: the pop don's festive gift is anything but a lump of coal {{!}} NME |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/robbie-williams-the-christmas-present-album-review-2577487 |access-date=2021-01-05 |website=NME {{!}} Music, Film, TV, Gaming & Pop Culture News |language=en-GB}}</ref>
