Michael Bublé Rings In The Holiday Season With ‘It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas’ Music Video
The time for holiday cheer is here.
With Halloween behind us, Michael Bublé is ringing in the holiday season with a music video for his cover of the classic “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas”.

The music video for the song opens in the style of an old TV broadcast from the ’50s, with Bublé walking around a home decked out for the holidays. As the video goes on, the time period progresses, with the TV becoming colour and high-definition.
The cover of the Meredith Wilson-penned classic was original featured on Michael Bublé’s 2011 album Christmas.
Over the last decade, the album has sold over 16 million copies and has been streamed over four billion times.
In a quick video on TikTok, the Canadian crooner, 46, laughed off the memes that infiltrate the Internet every holiday season and finally sharing his reaction.
ICYMI, because of his super successful Yuletide album, Christmas, fans hilariously tease the singer about only emerging during the holidays to sing those classic tunes.

“Every time the holiday season comes around, it’s like clockwork,” Bublé says in the TikTok. “I hear the jokes, I see the memes, ‘Buble coming out of the crave’, ‘Buble is defrosting’ and ‘Christmas is near’. And do you ever wonder why someone might spend that much time in a cave?”
“It’s because I’m f**king Batman. You a**holes,” he joked while in a Dark Knight mask. “And now you’ve probably cost me that job so I’m forced to have to sell these t-shirts.”
Bublé added, “Happy Holidays! Missed you!”
Bublé is rereleasing his version of “Let It Snow” off Christmas this year, in honour of the 10th anniversary, by recording the tune with the BBC’s Big Band Orchestra at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.

interesting info:
‘A pair of hopalong boots…’
The song refers to popular costume boots from the ’40s and ’50s modeled after the ones worn by the cowboy Hopalong Cassidy in a series of books and films. Originally conceived by author Clarence E. Mulford in 1904, Hopalong was crude, rough-talking, and dangerous. For the 66 (!) films starring William Boyd that came out in the ’30s and ’40s before re-running on TV and finding an even wider audience in the ’50s, Hopalong was rebranded a clean-cut, valiant hero—and his boots were the prize of little boys everywhere.
