A very diva Christmas

"Michael Bublé's Christmas in New York," now in its fourth consecutive year, is his never-ending attempt to be the new Perry Como. He'll be backed by a 30-piece orchestra and joined by Barbra Streisand and Miss Piggy. I wonder which one of them gets the bigger dressing room. 7 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11

Apron strings

"Hell's Kitchen" wraps up its 13th season with the best chefs getting to spend time with loved ones. The rest have to spend extra time with Gordon Ramsay. The winner gets a chance to run the kitchen at Caesars Palace in Atlantic City. Wait — that's a reward? 7 p.m. KMSP, Ch. 9

Stump the band

It was just last December that Minnesota's own Home Free won "The Sing-Off," the short competition series in which six a cappella groups do battle. Returning judges Jewel and Shawn Stockman are joined this year by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump. 8 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11
