Meghan Markle Teases “More Holiday Magic” for Archie and Lilibet in Cosy New Christmas Video

Meghan Markle has offered a festive glimpse into her Christmas preparations, sharing a cosy new video featuring candlelight, tea and stockings filled with presents as she hints at another surprise for her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

The Duchess of Sussex posted the clip on Instagram on Monday, October 19, giving followers a taste of the holiday atmosphere she is creating ahead of Christmas. But while the video showcases her festive styling, it is Meghan’s promise of something new that has caught attention.

“A little more holiday magic is on its way,” she wrote in the caption. “Coming soon. Stay close.”

The announcement comes as Meghan continues expanding As Ever’s holiday collection, which already includes a selection of seasonal gifts and entertaining essentials.

Inside Meghan’s Cosy Christmas Video

The video begins with Meghan, 45, dressed in black as she takes a jam biscuit from the kitchen to enjoy with her tea.

The scene then shifts to a quieter festive moment. Meghan lights a candle on a side table before approaching a fireplace, where white knitted Christmas stockings hang above the mantelpiece.

Changing into a white knitted jumper and matching trousers, she begins placing wrapped presents inside the stockings, creating an intimate Christmas setting.

Although the clip does not reveal exactly what her next announcement will be, its festive details suggest that Meghan is preparing another addition to her holiday offerings.

Her lifestyle brand has already introduced several seasonal products, including gift baskets, a chocolate gift box, an advent calendar and a parlour card set.

The latest teaser leaves the precise nature of the promised surprise undisclosed.

Meghan’s Expanding As Ever Holiday Collection

The new video arrives as Meghan develops the Christmas range for As Ever, her lifestyle brand focused on food, home and entertaining.

The collection has featured products designed for seasonal gifting and gatherings, building on the brand’s existing selection of candles, preserves and other lifestyle items.

Among its recent releases is a luxury advent calendar containing 24 chocolates. The wider holiday range also includes gift hampers and a double-deck parlour card set.

The expansion marks another step in Meghan’s efforts to establish As Ever as a destination for festive gifts and products for the home.

Her latest Instagram post appears to signal that there may be more to come, although she has yet to disclose the details of the next release.

What Could Christmas Look Like for Meghan, Harry and Their Children?

The festive teaser comes less than two months after Meghan and Prince Harry moved back to the UK in August with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, following six years in California.

The family’s plans for Christmas 2026 have not been officially confirmed. However, HELLO! royal editor Emily Nash has suggested that the Sussexes are likely to spend the holiday with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, rather than joining the wider Royal Family.

Speaking on HELLO!’s A Right Royal Podcast, Nash said: “I would be very surprised if the Sussexes are around at Christmas. I think they’ll head to see Doria. I think that was always the plan.”

The suggestion comes as the family continues adjusting to its new chapter in Britain while maintaining its connections to California.

For Meghan, Christmas has long been associated with family traditions and the excitement of watching her children experience the season.

Meghan on the Joy of Christmas Through Her Children’s Eyes

In a previous interview with Marie Claire, Meghan spoke about how her experience of Christmas has evolved as Archie and Lilibet have grown older.

She explained that when children are very young, parents may simply enjoy having them around for the festivities. As they grow, however, watching Christmas through their eyes becomes an increasingly special part of the experience.

“At first, I think as a mum with children you’re just enjoying having them there, but they’re not understanding everything that’s happening yet. But now we’re at the age where I just can’t wait to see it through their lens every year,” she said.

Meghan also described the simple activities that make the holiday enjoyable for her family, from sharing a meal to playing games and listening to music.

“Like any other family, you spend time having a great meal and then what do you do? Play games, all the same stuff, someone brings a guitar – fun.”

Her comments suggest that the moments she values most are not necessarily elaborate celebrations, but the everyday traditions that bring family members together.

A Look Back at the Sussexes’ Christmas Traditions

Meghan previously shared more details about her family’s festive celebrations in a 2025 newsletter for As Ever.

Reflecting on the preparations, she described how she and Harry made sure Santa’s cookies had been enjoyed and the reindeer’s carrots had been eaten, helping preserve the sense of Christmas magic for their children.

She also offered a glimpse into the relaxed atmosphere she hoped to enjoy with her family on Christmas Day.

“I plan to spend today cuddled up with my family – maybe pyjamas all day, some Scrabble or Sequence (or Candyland for the kids), music playing, candles flickering, dogs snoring, endless grazing; the laughter, the sidebars, the deep breaths (you know the ones), the fun, and the memories,” she wrote.

Her message focused on spending time together, whether that meant playing games, enjoying music or simply relaxing at home.

She concluded with a festive message for readers, regardless of how they planned to celebrate.

“I hope that whether you’re cosied up in your pyjamas like we are, or dressed to the nines, whether you’re with a huge gathering, with your partner, your kids, or on your own – wherever you happen to find yourself today reading this note – I am wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and all the blessings that come with it. From my family to yours, Happy Holidays!”

What Is Meghan Preparing to Reveal Next?

With her latest video, Meghan has once again combined a personal glimpse of festive life with a promotional tease for As Ever.

The cosy scenes reflect the family traditions she has previously described, while the promise of “a little more holiday magic” hints at another announcement from the brand.

For now, Meghan has kept the details under wraps. Whether the next reveal brings another seasonal product or a different festive offering remains to be seen.

One thing is clear from her previous comments: creating joyful Christmas memories with Harry, Archie and Lilibet remains an important part of the season for the Duchess of Sussex.
