Meghan Markle's highly anticipated Netflix Christmas special, "With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration," debuted on December 3, 2025, but faced a torrent of negative reviews, being labeled "mad," "sad," and "self-indulgent" by critics.
The special showcases intimate family moments, with Meghan sharing cherished traditions of a festive brunch for her husband, Prince Harry, and their children, Archie and Lilibet, which reflect her cultural roots and upbringing.
Prince Harry makes several lighthearted appearances, poking fun at Meghan's cooking, including a salad that he humorously criticizes, adding a playful dynamic to their family interactions.
Amid the festive cheer, the special ignites discussions on Meghan's public persona and her relationship with the British royal family, drawing attention to underlying tensions and her efforts to maintain relevance in the media landscape.
Critics highlight Meghan's extravagant presentation, including high-value jewelry and a focus on celebrity status, casting doubt on the authenticity of her festive portrayal and its commercial appeal.
The program has sparked speculation about its future prospects with Netflix, questioning whether this holiday showcase will significantly impact Meghan and Harry's media journey or lead to a redirection of their public narrative.
