Meghan Markle hasn’t spent Christmas in the U.K. since 2018, but there is one Christmas tradition that she still carries on now that she and her husband, Prince Harry, live in Montecito. The Royal Family partakes in the very British tradition of Christmas crackers––small, paper wrapped tubes typically filled with a small gift, a crown, and a paper joke or fact. In her festive Netflix special, entitled With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, Meghan makes the classic British tradition her own.
"It actually does feel really connected and sweet,” the Duchess of Sussex said of the Christmas tradition, explaining to New York restaurateur Will Guidara the practice of crossing arms and pulling on the crackers at the same time. “The way that I really started to know them was they would always have almost a fortune cookie size joke or riddle and something sweet."
