Meghan Markle is getting into the holiday spirit a little bit early this year.
Her lifestyle brand As Ever shared an Instagram video on Saturday, November 15, with a first look at the Duchess of Sussex, 44, putting up her Christmas decorations. In the footage, Meghan beams with delight in a shimmering brown ensemble while hanging up a white stocking.
“Oh, we see you! Not even Thanksgiving yet and you’ve already got this in the bag,” As Ever wrote in the Instagram caption.
As Ever officially unveiled its 2025 holiday collection on October 25 and promised its products were perfect for “giving and gathering, thoughtfully curated to elevate every occasion.”
The collection includes three-packs of Markle’s viral fruit spreads or $36, or in a signature gift box for $42.00. Both collections come with the same trio of fruit spreads: raspberry, orange marmalade and strawberry. (Individual fruit spread jars are also available for $12 while supplies last.)
As Ever has a true festive miracle for anyone still stewing over missing out on its limited edition honey earlier this year, as shoppers can add a honey duo gift box — with wildflower and orange blossom varieties— to their wishlists $62 or pick up an individual pack of sage honey with honeycomb for $32.00.
Other items curated especially for As Ever’s 2025 holiday collection include some more affordable options, like the spiced cider mulling kit for $16 and a range of flavored teas for $14.00 each.
“From elegant, hand-poured candles and artisanal fruit spreads to golden California honey and celebratory wines, these items are practical and truly irresistible, offering something special for everyone on your list,” As Ever teased in a statement.
The Sussexes are also gearing up for the release of their upcoming Netflix special With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, a spinoff of Meghan’s lifestyle series. Debuting December 3, the episode will invite viewers into Meghan and Harry’s Montecito, California, home to see how they commemorate the festive season.
“This December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration,” their production company Archewell Productions announced. “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.”
Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry’s sister-in-law Princess Kate Middleton announced some of her own holiday plans earlier this week. Kate will host celebrities and special guests at the historic Westminster Abbey on December 5 for her Together at Christmas carol service. Kate Winslet, Hannah Waddingham, Dan Smith and Chiwetel Ejiofor are set to join Kate and her husband, Prince William, to deliver festive readings at the fifth annual event, where the princess will also deliver a speech on the theme of “The Power of Love and Togetherness.”
“This year, the Service will bring people together to celebrate love in all its forms — whether it’s love within families, through friendships, across communities or even through powerful moments of connection with strangers. In a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, love is the force that reconnects us all – spanning generations, communities, cultures and faiths,” a statement read.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry were most recently spotted at two separate high-profile L.A. events on November 8. The Sussexes supported their friend Serena Williams at the Baby2Baby Gala in West Hollywood, where the tennis star was given the Giving Tree Award “for her fierce commitment to uplifting children and families and her powerful advocacy for maternal health,” per the organization.
Meghan and Harry, 41, also joined A-listers such as Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Kyle Richards, Kathy Hilton and Gayle King by making an appearance at Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed 70th birthday party. Jenner and her daughter Kim Kardashian originally shared photos with Meghan on Instagram, but any trace of those pictures were later removed from the family’s social media.
Royal expert Tom Sykes later reported that Harry and Meghan had reportedly checked “no” on a photo consent form they received before the party, and thus apparently did not want any pictures taken of them to be shared.
The royal expert clarified that Harry and Meghan were not “particularly bothered” by the pictures ending up on social media, though the Jenner-Kardashian family still took them down out of respect.
