Most recently, McBride released “It’s the Holiday Season,” a nine-song holiday album. For this record, McBride collaborated with the late Patrick “Pat” Williams, who arranged a set of classic Christmas songs with accompaniment from more than 35 world-class musicians at the famed Capitol Studio in Los Angeles and Blackbird Studio in Nashville. This release follows her 1998 multi-platinum “White Christmas.”
On Oct. 30, 2018, she released her second cookbook, “Martina’s Kitchen Mix: My Recipe Playlist for Real Life.” The new collection includes nearly 300 pages of family recipes and new creations from her own kitchen.

2018 also saw the debut of McBride’s Food Network show “Martina’s Table.” She shares recipes from her cookbooks, what life on the road is like, and hosts inspirational gatherings for friends and family. “Martina’s Table” can currently be seen on the Food Network every Sunday and through most streaming providers.
