Ho Ho Ho, also known as VH-1 Presents RuPaul: Ho Ho Ho, is a 1997 Christmas album and third overall by American singer and drag queen RuPaul. It was released on October 28, 1997 by Rhino; it is RuPaul's first album featuring Christmas music and serves as a follow-up to Foxy Lady (1996). RuPaul co-produced the album with American music producers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, who both work for the production company World of Wonder. Ho Ho Ho consists of ten tracks, including eleven covers of Christmas standards and carols, and three original songs written by Joe Carrano and the singer. The album was frequently referenced as an example of camp though RuPaul did specify that he recorded several more serious covers, specifically "All Alone on Christmas" and "Hard Candy Christmas".
Upon release, critics gave generally positive reviews of the album, praising its cheerful and humorous composition. However, some commentators responded negatively to the record's use of humor and the clarity of its overall message. It was also included in a parody list discussing the alt-right, the "War on Christmas", and bathroom bills. The album was moderately successful in the United States, peaking at number 27 on the Heatseekers Albums Billboard chart. It sold a little over 4,000 copies in one week. In support of the record, RuPaul filmed a television special as a part of his VH1 talk show The RuPaul Show (1996).
