On December 2, 2025, Meghan Markle released her Netflix special titled 'With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration', which features various holiday activities and cooking segments. The Duchess of Sussex displays her cooking as she prepares a beet salad and a gumbo, which is a family recipe from her mother, Doria Ragland. During the special, Prince Harry made a brief cameo where he humorously acknowledged his dislike for the beet salad ingredients, calling it 'the anti-salad'. He joked about the rarity of finding so many disliked ingredients in one dish. However, he appreciated Meghan’s gumbo, despite it being a bit too spicy for his taste. Throughout the episode, Markle shared lifestyle tips and involved her friends in crafting activities, such as making personalized Christmas crackers and wreaths. Critics provided some feedback on the special, with one review describing it as lacking depth, fun, or aspirations, asserting that it felt more like background noise rather than engaging content. The review reflected that most viewers are unlikely to experience such a glitzy holiday celebration, as depicted in the special, leading to the conclusion that it may not resonate with its audience. Overall, the episode combined lighthearted cooking with personal touches intended to inspire a festive spirit, despite the mixed reviews it garnered.
