Meghan Markle's Holiday Celebration: A Gastronomic Nightmare
For viewers who aren't fans of the Duchess of Sussex or aren't married to royalty, take an abundance of anti-nausea medication and prepare for a grueling holiday spectacle. With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration does not disappoint in its relentless barrage of saccharine sweetness.
Meghan's opening scene, where she frolics through a Christmas tree farm, sets the tone for a holiday celebration that prioritizes "small moments" and "love" above all else. She decorates the trees with an emphasis on encapsulating her family's story, positioning baubles to find their "light." It's all very heartwarming, but also exhausting.
As Meghan spends time with guests, including restaurateur Will Guidara and tennis star Naomi Osaka, she repeatedly emphasizes the importance of love and connection. However, these themes are often overshadowed by her own brand of warmth and inclusivity, which can come across as forced or even condescending.
Will's response to Meghan's outpouring of love is a highlight of the special, as he delivers a witty remark about the importance of attachment that leaves Meghan visibly taken aback. It's a brief moment of levity in an otherwise overly sentimental program.
The celebrity guests are given their due time on camera, but even they can't escape Meghan's suffocating aura of niceness. Naomi Osaka is seen as a cool contrast to Meghan's relentless cheeriness, and her eventual departure from the holiday gathering feels like a welcome release.
Meanwhile, Tom Colicchio's appearance with Prince Harry is met with a deliciously awkward exchange about traditional festive foods that almost makes you proud to be British for its sheer unlikeliness. It's a small respite from Meghan's relentless positivity.
Ultimately, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration feels like a holiday card from a friend who won't take no for an answer. While it may leave viewers feeling both offended and harmed, there's a begrudging respect to be had for Meghan's unwavering dedication to her brand of warmth and inclusivity. Even if it's not always easy to watch.

i think shes got this amazing ability 2 make u feel all warm fuzzy inside but sometimes its like she dosnt know when 2 stop 
maybe its jst my taste in holiday specials but that thing felt like a recipe 4 pure exhaustion 
i mean will's witty remark about attachment was the highlight of it 4 me lol anyway i still love u m Megs 
The only parts that were slightly entertaining were when Naomi Osaka and Will Guidara exchanged witty remarks. And omg, Tom Colicchio's awkward conversation with Prince Harry was SO British 
i gotta say, i'm so done with the forced feelin' when megahn does her thing 
i get that she wants to spread love and positivity but sometimes less is more, ya know? like will's comment was literally the highlight of the whole thing for me 
the thing is, megahn's just too much all the time. it's like she's tryin' to cram all this lovey-doveyness down our throats and honestly, it can be a bit overwhelming 
but at the same time, i gotta respect her for stickin' to her guns and doin' what makes her happy 
I mean, think about it... this holiday special is like a big ol' hug from Meghan Markle, but sometimes you just need a little space to breathe, you know? It's like, she's so passionate about spreading love and connection, but maybe that's not everyone's vibe. And what's with all the emphasis on "small moments" and "family story"? Is it like, we're all supposed to be fascinated by her personal narrative or something? 
I feel bad for Naomi Osaka having to sit through all that niceness, man... she just needed a break from Meghan's warmth. And Tom Colicchio's awkward exchange with Prince Harry was literally the highlight of my day 
I'm totally with the author on this one! The whole thing feels like a forced attempt at being all warm and fuzzy, it's like they're trying too hard to make us feel all the feels. I mean, come on, how many times can you repeat "love" before it gets old? And don't even get me started on Meghan's constant need to share her family's story, it's like she's trying to sell us a Hallmark card. 
The awkward moments with Tom and Harry are the only parts that made me chuckle, but overall I just felt like I was watching an overly sentimental infomercial. And can we talk about how Naomi Osaka's departure feels like a much-needed rescue mission? 
. But on the other hand, that awkward exchange with Tom Colicchio was pretty hilarious 
, and Naomi Osaka is always a cool presence in her life 
its all so cheerful but also super overwhelming i mean meghan is just radiating this warm glow everywhere she goes but sometimes it feels like shes suffocating everyone around her with her love 
especially when will guidara talks back to her for once lol thats the highlight of the whole thing imo
. It feels like Meghan is trying too hard to spread love and positivity, but ends up coming across as super cheesy and condescending 
. And don't even get me started on how much saccharine sweetness is in that whole thing 
️. Anyway, I'm gonna stick to my usual holiday traditions, thank you very much 
.
. But honestly, I'm also kinda tired of Meghan's "love" theme already 
And don't even get me started on Will Guidara's witty remark - that was like a breath of fresh air amidst all the saccharine sweetness! 
. Tom Colicchio and Prince Harry's awkward exchange was pretty funny tho 
. And don't even get me started on how forced everything feels - like they're trying way too hard to be all warm and fuzzy about the holidays 
. I mean, can't we just have a chill holiday special for once?! 
. And, her influencer partnerships? Up 42% in the first week alone 
. On a more interesting note, did you know that the average viewer spends 27 minutes watching holiday specials? Maybe this one will break that record 
. The most popular hashtag from the special was #LoveIsInTheAir, with over 1.2 million tweets 
. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, Meghan's efforts to spread love and positivity clearly resonated with her fans
