With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration isn’t fun, enjoyable or even aspirational

Did you know that you’re supposed to wrap Christmas lights around your tree twice? Once further in and then again on the outside? I suppose I didn’t, but it makes logical sense. I’ve never thought to make my own Christmas plates, or considered writing little love notes to my family in refillable felt advent calendars either, but Meghan Markle has mused on many aspects of Christmas for her predictably insipid festive special.

Now, I like Christmas, and I don’t have one of these weird royalist vendettas against Meghan Markle – I think she seems like a lovely, sweet woman! So in theory, I should enjoy With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration for what it means to provide: a massage for the brain. Sadly, this most Markle-y of Netflix content tests the limits of my holiday cheer.
