Try this, run this code below. The first date I added a 0 to the day so that it will match the formatting in the comparison.

/** Days to be disabled as an array */
var disableddates = ["20-05-2015", "12-11-2014", "12-25-2014", "12-20-2014"];


function DisableSpecificDates(date) {
    var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('dd-mm-yy', date);
    return [disableddates.indexOf(string) == -1];
  }
  /*
var m = date.getMonth();
var d = date.getDate();
var y = date.getFullYear();

// First convert the date in to the mm-dd-yyyy format 
// Take note that we will increment the month count by 1 
var currentdate = (m + 1) + '-' + d + '-' + y ;

// We will now check if the date belongs to disableddates array 
for (var i = 0; i < disableddates.length; i++) {

// Now check if the current date is in disabled dates array. 
if ($.inArray(currentdate, disableddates) != -1 ) {
return [false];

}
}

}*/


$(function() {
  $("#date").datepicker({
    beforeShowDay: DisableSpecificDates
  });
});

Please, post the javascript error that appears on your console. Did you try to use the Developer Tools in Chrome or something similar?
