Teddy features on one track and The Christmas Present also boasts collaborations with the likes of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Jamie Callum.
On the subject of why he wanted to make a Christmas album, the popstar said: “I’ve done twelve albums by myself and five albums with Take That and once you do the sort of write the album, record the album, tour the album for three decades, you quite fancy doing something new.
“I’m trying to do a song that will be repeated every year, so that has been the task,” he added.
That enduring track could come, somewhat bizarrely, in the form of his duet with heavyweight boxer Fury.
Williams and Fury are already surprising favourites for Christmas number one with their festive duet.
Bookies Ladbrokes have odds at 6-1 for the pair to top the Christmas chart, with the Celebrity X Factor winner and Mariah Carey next in line, both at 8-1.
