Meghan Markle’s holiday special misses Netflix top 1,000

Meghan Markle’s holiday special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, has failed to break into Netflix’s top 1,000 most-watched shows, ranking at number 1,022 with 2.4 million views and 2.3 million hours watched since its December 3, 2025, release.

The second instalment of With Love, Meghan performed even more poorly, placing 1,224th between July and December 2025.

It attracted two million views and 9.7 million hours watched after debuting in late August. By contrast, the show’s first season fared better earlier in the year, ranking 383rd with 5.3 million views.

Sources suggest the series is unlikely to continue. One insider said, “It is not returning as a series.

There have been conversations about holiday specials, but there’s nothing in the works yet.”

Another told Page Six: “People will see similar cooking and crafting on Meghan’s socials for the brand, but more bite-sized.”

Insiders added that Meghan plans to refocus on her As Ever lifestyle brand, calling the Netflix project “a lot of work”.

The festive special received largely negative reviews. Annabel Fenwick Elliot of the Daily Mail awarded it zero stars, saying: “It’s the syrupy hypocrisy and our hostesses’ deep lack of self-awareness that continue to make her and this show so unlikeable.”

She added that if Meghan leaned into her personality, “she could just about be endearing, in a Monica-from-Friends sort of way.”

Hilary Rose of The Times branded the show “unfathomable”, while noting viewers learn “that red is a festive colour”.

However, Express reviewer Emily Ferguson was more positive, praising its “useful advice for wrapping difficult items”.

Meghan is now expected to prioritise her As Ever brand, with a cookbook planned for early 2026 and more lifestyle products to follow.
