Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Glee alum Darren Criss released a holiday album called A Very Darren Crissmas Friday.

"You know how every year around the holidays, you say to yourself, wow, I can't believe they're here already. That's how I feel about this album coming out today. I can't believe I actually made one and that it's out already. It only took all year to get here," Criss tweeted.
