It might be baltic outside, but our sporting calendar is officially heating up. Between the Super Bowl on February 8, 2026 and the Winter Olympic Games taking over Italy from February 6–22, the season is basically a marathon of couch-side spectating — and an excellent excuse to snack with conviction.
If you’re hosting a watch party, a little prep goes a long way. The right small appliances can save precious counter space, streamline cooking and help you serve something far more impressive than a last-minute bag of chips and salsa. Think warm dips, bubbling pizzas and crowd-pleasing bites that keep you glued to the screen, not stuck in the kitchen.
That’s where Best Buy Canada comes in. The retailer is stocked with must-have kitchen appliances from top-tier blenders perfect for whipping up game-day dips to compact pizza ovens that turn out artisanal pies in minutes. And for those inevitable hosting audibles, Best Buy Canada’s Quick and Easy Store Pickup lets you order online and grab your goods at a nearby store in as little as an hour.
This big game season, level up your spread with time- and space-saving appliances — and unlock even more perks with a free My Best Buy Canada account, which gives members early and exclusive access to sales and products. It could just be your MVP.
