It is no surprise that the self-proclaimed King of Christmas has created a holiday setting that is truly worthy of a picture postcard, designed to impress for years to come.
Michael Bublé, famous for his many modern holiday classics, may have unintentionally set a high expectation that his festive decorations would be as iconic as his songs – and, naturally, he has delivered. What is his seasonal secret? A color scheme of red, white, and green – a truly timeless trio showcased best on his Christmas tree.
Bublé and actress Luisana Lopilato have transformed their open-plan living room into a wonderfully cozy Christmas grotto. This seasonal transformation includes a textured red throw (just like this one from Target) draped over their white sofa and a coordinating garland adorning their shelving. Yet, it is their tree that sets the real standard for holiday decorating.
Adorned with oversized red and silver ornaments and crowned with a star, it embodies a classic aesthetic that has charmed people for decades, and which we anticipate will continue to impress for many holidays ahead this winter.

Bublé and Lopilato’s Christmas tree embraces classic holiday tradition with one striking twist. Instead of conventional ribbon, a sculptural gold wire-mesh garland winds through the branches, catching the light and adding a modern, textural shimmer.
A glance at Bublé’s tree reveals unmissable oversized ornaments, and this classic red hue might be the standout of them all. Spacing these large baubles, which come in sets of six, around a lush green tree creates a festive, high-impact color pairing that feels both timeless and effortlessly chic. And if Bublé approves, who are we to argue?
Red and green ornaments are the essence of traditional holiday style, yet the matte finish on these gives them a distinctly contemporary edge. They pair beautifully with a natural green tree and look especially striking beneath a silver tree topper, just like the one on Bublé’s.
For a classic garland, it’s hard to surpass this natural-looking option. Its vibrant red bow and natural green tones look stunning draped down the center of a festive tablescape, along a staircase railing, or across a mantel in your living room.
Much like the star atop Bublé’s tree, this piece combines a soft white glow with a gold finish for a timeless appeal. It’s an investment that will look just as beautiful next Christmas and for many holidays to come.
There's more to Bublé's Christmas setting than the tree. We love how he's added a bright red blanket to his sofa – an accent that offers both warmth and decoration. It provides unparalleled comfort on chilly nights (and is perfect for your tree).
The colors red, green, white, and silver have influenced December decorating for centuries, but their ability to evolve is the key to their longevity. The countless variations of these tones mean they can appear both traditional and contemporary, depending entirely on the exact shade chosen.
For an aesthetic that will make a modern home feel festive this year, Rachel Stringer, a real estate agent and design expert at Raleigh Realty, suggests a muted twist on Bublé and Lopilato's palette.
'Color schemes evolve, but the classics endure. Red and green have been staples forever, but playing with deeper shades or muted tones can modernize the look,' she says.
'One family I worked with used deep burgundy accents with gold, which gave their traditional decor a fresh feel while still feeling cozy. For others, sticking with monochrome palettes or neutrals creates a calmer atmosphere, especially if they want their holiday setup to blend seamlessly with their usual decor.'
Bublé and Lopilato have consistently used a green, red, white, and silver palette across their Christmas decor; however, adopting their beautiful seasonal style does not require dressing up our entire mantelpiece or sofa. Following their festive lead is entirely possible with just a tree, regardless of its size.
'Some traditions in holiday decorating seem to stick no matter how trends shift. A tree is a centerpiece for most homes, but it’s not just about putting one up – it’s about how it’s dressed,' Stringer says.
'A well-decorated tree with a cohesive theme, like soft metallic ornaments mixed with touches of nature, creates an understated yet elegant feel. Adding dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks not only looks great but smells amazing, too. Families I’ve worked with have told me they loved this idea because it brought a sense of tradition into their new homes without feeling overdone.'
