Meghan Markle's holiday special 'With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration' is an exercise in sheer emotional endurance. The 30-minute film begins with a jolly Meghan skipping through a Christmas tree farm, decked out in festive cheer and an aura of sanctimoniousness that quickly becomes overwhelming.
Throughout the program, Meghan indulges in cutesy holiday activities, including decorating trees, baking cookies, and hosting dinner parties for her friends. These scenes are intercut with snippets of conversation with various guests, including celebrity chef Will Guidara, tennis star Naomi Osaka, and Prince Harry, which occasionally inject a spark of humor into the otherwise saccharine proceedings.
Guidara's exchange with Meghan over their respective cooking skills is particularly cringe-worthy, as Meghan attempts to one-up him in a baking competition while he playfully teases her about her lack of culinary finesse. Meanwhile, Osaka's appearance is notable only for her visibly frazzled demeanor and polite but resigned responses to Meghan's queries.
The real treat, however, is the cameo by Prince Harry, who appears unobtrusively yet charmingly at a dinner party hosted by Meghan's mother. His aversion to various festive foods is both relatable and refreshing in its honesty.
Ultimately, 'With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration' feels like an exercise in forced cheeriness, with Meghan's relentless enthusiasm for all things festive wearing thin by the program's conclusion. While it may elicit a few smiles from viewers familiar with the royal family's public image, those seeking genuine holiday entertainment might find themselves reaching for some antacids or a stiff drink to counteract the sugar overload.

Meghan's "holiday special" is like watching a sugary sweet tooth overdose 
I mean, what's up with Meghan and her holiday special? It feels like she's trying too hard to be all cheerful and festive, but it just comes across as forced 
. And don't even get me started on the baking competition – girl, you're not fooling anyone with those fancy-schmancy baked goods 
. But hey, I do have to give props to Prince Harry for being his usual charming self, even if he did say he's "not a fan" of certain holiday foods 
megan's enthusiasm is just so...much 
and can we pls talk about how cringeworthy those cooking scenes are? 
will guidara's sassiness is on point tho 
but overall its like watching a sugar high of feel-good moments that eventually crash and burn 
the prince harry cameo though was a nice break from all the merriment 
️ still not gonna watch it again though, im good 
. It seems like it's more about promoting her brand and spreading cheer, rather than actually having a genuine holiday experience. And honestly, some of the scenes in this special are super cringeworthy 
- I mean, who tries to one-up Will Guidara in a baking competition? Not me! 
But hey, at least Prince Harry's cameo was kinda refreshing and relatable 
. Overall, I think it's just a bit too sugary sweet (no pun intended) for my taste 
i felt for him 
what about u guys did u watch it?
anyway, prince harry's cameo tho 
, at least that was a breath of fresh air 
and dont even get me started on guidara, lol his jokes are so cheesy 
. Can we have something with a bit more substance, please?
