Michael Bublé has become a Canadian Christmas tradition. If he's not dropping a yuletide tune, then he's hosting a Christmas special. This year he's doing both.

On Monday, the 39-year-old B.C. native tweeted his new music video for "Baby It's Cold Outside," the holiday classic from 1944 which he re-imagined as a duet with "Frozen" star Idina Menzel (the track appears on her new album, "Christmas Wishes").

In the video, Bublé is played by a young boy (a hotel elevator operator) and Menzel a young girl (a hotel guest). The two kids with adult voices (Bublé and Menzel appear as their mirror images) dance together as the hotel's entirely pre-pubescent staff and guests look on in this contemporary take on "Bugsy Malone."

This is not Bublé's first appearance on a Christmas album. In 2011, he dropped his own, titled simply "Christmas," which included a duet on "white Christmas" with fellow Canadian Shania Twain.

Also this week, Bublé announced the Dec. 17 airing of "Michael Buble's Christmas In New York" on NBC, including appearances by Ariana Grande, Barbra Streisand, Miss Piggy and The Rockettes (the taping took place last month).

“I could not be more excited to celebrate the Christmas holidays in New York with such a fantastic array of talented women,” Buble said in a statement. “I think my 4th holiday special for NBC may be the very best yet. I can't wait for everyone to see it.”

And we can't wait to see it!
