Lucas Cruikshank, AKA Fred, Guest Stars on Hannah Montana

It looks like 2009 is shaping up to be one very big year for YouTube sensation Lucas Cruikshank, aka Fred Figglehorn. One exciting thing for him, is that he is guest staring on Hannah Montana. He’s in an episode entitled “Come Fail Away”, which premieres on Disney Channel December 6 7:30-8:00 p.m., ET/PT.

In “Come Fail Away”, Miley doesn’t exactly make an impact when she auditions for the starring role of a cartoon duck, so Kyle, a professional voice-over actor, offers his advice. When she is still unable to impress the director, Miley tries an assortment of techniques, including working with a real duck, to land the part. Meanwhile, Rico tries to transform “Rico’s” into a high-end restaurant by utilizing fancy restaurant gadgets like electronic pagers and a number dispenser.

The other exciting bit of news, is that on November 10th (that’s today!), Lucas has a Christmas CD debuting. It’s called “It’s Hackin’ Christmas with Fred”.

The album will be available on iTunes and Amazon.com. 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.

“Its Hackin’ Christmas with Fred” album will help bring awareness 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.

Congrats to Lucas for all of his success!
