Bublé said that when he cooks during the holidays, music helps create the right atmosphere. He often plays classic crooners like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Tony Bennett to make the kitchen feel extra cozy.

Bublé’s Favorite Festive Dishes

During the interview, Bublé praised several traditional dishes. He enjoys mashed potatoes served with either his mother’s or wife’s gravy. He also likes eggnog, using it in both his coffee and his French toast. As for desserts, he called pumpkin pie his “favorite all-time pie.”
