Meghan Markle is throwing a party of her own after attending Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday bash.
The former actress — who forced Jenner and Kim Kardashian to take down photos from the star-studded party — packed on the PDA with Prince Harry in Wednesday’s trailer for her Netflix holiday special, “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.”
In the footage for the special, which drops on Dec. 3, Markle, 44, shares: “I love the holiday season. It’s about finding time to connect with the people we love, embracing traditions and making new ones.”
The “Suits” alum is seen getting into the festive spirit by decorating and cooking with friends, walking through a Christmas tree farm and sharing her best DIY techniques.
At one point, while in the kitchen, Markle grabs the back of Prince Harry’s head and pulls the 41-year-old in for a smooch.
“It’s pretty jolly in here,” she teases elsewhere in the trailer.
Markle was also seen placing snacks for Santa and his reindeer. The set up included a message from her and Harry’s kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, on a mug.
The note was addressed to “Santa” and showed a glimpse of the words “have been good” and “travel safely.”
The message signed off: “XO, Archie and Lili.”
The Duke of Sussex made a brief cameo in Season 1 of “With Love, Meghan,” but was notably absent from the second season.
Along with her husband, Markle is joined by tennis star Naomi Osaka, “Top Chef” judge Tom Colicchio, friends Kelly McKee Zajfen and Lindsay Roth, and hospitality expert Will Guidara.
Last month, while at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., the Netflix star opened up about the future of her show.
“Well, the holiday special is coming out in November. It’s a really good one,” Markle told the audience. “So I think looking at that format — again, it’s a year of learns — so we’re able to say, ‘Eight episodes for two seasons — it’s a lot of work.”
The actress noted that “having done ‘Suits’ for seven years, I remember what goes into a production. I also recognize how much people want content in different sizes. Part of what we’re testing out now is, it’s amazing to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes, but how can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And where can I share that with you? And how that continues to grow As ever.”
Markle also teased the cheerful special in a statement from Archewell earlier this year.
“This December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration,” the statement read. “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’s a holiday wonder with warmth, tradition, and a generous dose of joy.”
Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, now has its first-ever holiday collection, which features candles, fruit spreads, and sparkling wines.
The first season of “With Love, Meghan” premiered in March — and was bashed by critics. Season 2’s August debut didn’t fair much better with mixed reviews.
Markle and Prince Harry initially signed a $100 million agreement with Netflix in 2020. The couple extended their deal with the streamer in August, but the new partnership is reportedly worth significantly less than the original deal.
The Sussexes released multiple projects under their first deal, including their 2022 docuseries “Harry & Meghan” and Harry’s “Polo” doc, which was critically panned by the public after it dropped in Dec. 2024.
Markle and Harry’s social calendars have also been packed as of late. They recently made headlines when they rubbed elbows with the likes of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart, and Justin Bieber at Jenner’s bash. The festivities were hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s at their $175 million mansion. Although the two were all smiles, Kardashian was reportedly left “pissed” when they forced her to take down photos of them from Instagram.
Royals insiders were reportedly appalled by their night out, too. “It’s so tacky,” a palace insider who works with the royal family told Page Six. “It truly shows that Harry is so far removed from the rest of the family. These people may be stars in America, but the pure ostentatiousness is at odds with what Prince William is trying to do with his life and the monarchy.”
