A jolly red-faced man looms into view towards the end of Meghan Markle’s latest Netflix turkey, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. Clocking in at an ominous 56 minutes, Meghan’s Holiday Celebration begins with our hostess skipping among the pines at a Christmas-tree farm and busying herself with making an advent calendar stuffed with positive aphorisms for her kids. There is an unpleasant bauble lurking at the bottom of Holiday Celebration insofar as it marks the end of the most lucrative phase of the Sussexes’ relationship with Netflix. Far from it: she wants very badly for Holiday Celebration to dazzle. But like an office party where HR mandates that everyone participate in the karaoke, the reek of forced fun is ever-present.
