A new photo accompanied the announcement, showing Meghan decorating her table for the holidays in a green dress.
In a statement released earlier this year, it gave insight into what we can expect in the Sussexes’ holiday celebrations, saying: “ This December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration.
“Together, friends and family deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs – with simple how-tos to follow at home,” it continued. “It’s a holiday wonder with warmth, tradition, and a generous dose of joy.”
At Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., Meghan revealed that the holiday special was a “really good one.:
She hinted that the special would include gift wrapping techniques, noting that she used to teach “advanced gift wrapping” at Paper Source between acting auditions.
“That’s not the full circle I was expecting, but here we are,” she said.
With Love, Meghan was the 44-year-old’s first solo hosting project for Netflix. The first season of the show premiered in March, with the second season being filmed at the same time and released in August.

Prince Harry and Meghan had a deal with Netflix, reportedly worth $100million, before they extended their creative partnership with a multi-year first-look deal for film and television projects earlier this year.
Meghan went on to explain the deal at the Fortune event, saying: “My husband and I were in an overall deal with Netflix then, not dissimilar to Higher Ground and the Obamas’ deal, once that had come to its term, the extension of it — which was such an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership — was now being in a first-look deal.
“Which is also exciting because it gives us flexibility to go to our partners first, then at the same time, shop content that might not be the right fit for Netflix but has a home somewhere else.”
The Duchess has caused controversy in recent days as she was seen at multiple events over the weekend without wearing a poppy in honour of Remembrance Day.
Sources revealed to the Daily Mail that the reason was due to them not being as readily available in the United States as they are in Commonwealth countries.
Fans were divided on social media, as some were left furious by the decision, while others defended the American.
“Meghan didn’t even pay respect with her husband and wear a poppy,” one social media user commented.
Another person questioned: “Where is Meghan’s remembrance day poppy? Why doesn’t she wear it?”
“Americans wear poppies on Memorial Day (May) in honor of veterans. She was poppy-less, rightfully so,” one defender stated.
“Meghan is American, that is possibly why she isn’t wearing a poppy,” another supporter noted.
