Meghan Markle has shared some holiday cheer with her fans, revealing that her latest festive special will premiere on Netflix on December 3.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to make the announcement, posting a striking image of herself arranging a lavish holiday spread.
Dressed in an elegant emerald green gown, Meghan was photographed placing elaborate Christmas decorations across a table set for a Yuletide feast.
Her caption read, “Embrace traditions and make new ones this holiday season. With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration arrives December 3rd on Netflix.”
A Star-Studded Holiday Lineup
The streaming giant has already aired two seasons of Meghan’s series, With Love, Meghan, offering fans a blend of cooking, entertaining tips, and glimpses into her stylish lifestyle.
Previous episodes have featured celebrity guests like Chrissy Teigen, Mindy Kaling, and members of the Sussexes’ close-knit Montecito circle, including Abigail Spencer.
This upcoming holiday edition is expected to follow a similar format, mixing festive celebrations with practical tips for hosting and entertaining.
Timing That Raises Eyebrows
The December 3 release date may spark some raised eyebrows, as it coincides with a significant royal event.
King Charles is scheduled to host a state visit from the President of Germany at Windsor Castle that same day.
Meanwhile, Meghan and Prince Harry were spotted just one day earlier at Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed birthday party—contrasting with the Royal Family’s solemn observance of Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London.
King Charles, alongside senior royals including the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, led a two-minute silence to honour soldiers who sacrificed their lives in conflict.
Mixed Reviews and Critical Reception
While Meghan’s show has attracted millions of viewers, critics have been less generous.
Season two of With Love, Meghan drew sharp criticism when it aired in August.
Reviews described it as “marginally less mad but more needy” than the first season.
Liz Jones of The Mail called it “staged, fake and dull” but acknowledged Meghan’s earnestness.
Other critics were less kind: The Guardian labelled it “so boring” and “so contrived,” while The Telegraph likened the Duchess to a “Montecito Marie Antoinette.”
The Times went even further, branding the series “a show in search of meaning, fronted by a woman in need of some cash.”
Even with celebrity appearances from John Legend, Tan France, and others, many argue the show lacks authenticity and substance.
Yet, fans continue to tune in, drawn to Meghan’s personal style and her take on festive celebrations.
What to Expect This December
Despite the critiques, the Duchess’s new holiday special promises a mix of glamour, tradition, and celebrity sparkle.
Whether viewers will embrace it as heartfelt entertainment or dismiss it as contrived remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: Meghan Markle is ready to make her mark on the holiday season once again.
