Blake Shelton’s Party Move: ‘I Double Dip’

When Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert head to Lindale, TX for Christmas this year, there’s one dish Lambert’s mom will certainly have ready: party dip.

“I like any kind of dip,” Shelton tells PEOPLE at JCPenney’s Jingle Mingle Live event in N.Y.C, where Shelton sang some of his favorite holiday songs with the USO Choir. “Anything that you can dip a chip in—ranch, cheese, salsa—and [Miranda's] mom knows that so there’s always like six different kinds of dip.”

He’s even figured out the art of keeping all the deliciousness to himself: “I found out if you double dip, then other people stay out of it.”

The country power-couple split their holidays between Lambert’s hometown in Texas and Shelton’s family base in Oklahoma. For Shelton, it’s a time of year he looks forward to. “[There's] no pressure, no thinking, just hanging out and having fun.”

As for what he would like to find in his stocking on Christmas morning, The Voice judge is simple to please: “Cash, I like cash.”
