The mother of two has revealed a curated holiday playlist

Meghan Markle has shared a new Instagram video revealing her personal Christmas playlist, with the footage appearing to feature outtakes from her Netflix lifestyle series, “With Love Meghan: Holiday Celebration”.

The video, posted on Instagram on Monday, showed the Duchess of Sussex taking part in festive activities.


These included crafting at a table, preparing drinks and working in a kitchen decorated for the holiday season.

Alongside the footage, Meghan wrote: “All the sounds of the season. Here is my personal list of favorite holiday songs on rotation in our home this time of year.

“Wishing you a safe and cozy Christmas! Enjoy!”

The post marked the latest use of Meghan’s Instagram account to promote content connected to “With Love Meghan”.

The Netflix series, centred on cooking, hosting and seasonal entertaining, has already released two series and a Christmas special.

The mother of two has now revealed a curated holiday playlist leaning heavily towards classic Christmas songs and established artists.

The playlist opened with “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Norah Jones and Laufey, followed by “Winter Wonderland” by Ella Fitzgerald and “Looks Like a Cold Cold Winter” by Ingrid Michaelson.

Frank Sinatra featured with “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm”, while Michael Bublé’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” was also included.

Meghan has previously spoken about her friendship with Mr Bublé, who once created a Christmas playlist for her during the years she ran her lifestyle blog, The Tig.

The Canadian singer even joined Prince Harry and Meghan at the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, where he introduced the Duke of Sussex on stage and praised the couple’s work for the event.

Other selections included Ray Charles’s “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, Dinah Washington’s “Ole Santa”, Eartha Kitt’s live recording of “Santa Baby”, and “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey.

Meghan previously interviewed Ms Carey on her Archetypes podcast in 2022, where the singer appeared as a guest to discuss ambition and public perception.

The duchess then moved into more gospel and soul-influenced tracks, including “Amen / This Little Light of Mine” by Etta James, “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway and “Merry Christmas Baby” by Otis Redding.

“Amen / This Little Light of Mine” has a clear connection to Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018, having played as the couple left St George’s Chapel following their ceremony.

The playlist concluded with “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by James Taylor and “O Holy Night”, performed live by Tracy Chapman in Washington, DC.

The video and playlist align with the curated home and lifestyle themes that have become central to Meghan’s recent social media presence since returning to Instagram earlier this year.
