    (00:00–07:05) Meghan Markle’s holiday special opens with tree-shopping, sentimental ornaments, and the first wave of overproduced coziness. (07:05–13:40) Will Guidara arrives for the “perfect imperfection” segment — from the chalkboard sign to Meghan’s deeply earnest hosting philosophy. (13:40–18:30) Meghan breaks down her approach to holiday hosting, the kids’ advent-calendar, the personalized crackers, and her very Meghan interpretation of “grace.” (18:30–24:20) Fondue night, “golly that’s a lot of sugar,” ice-cream-parlor music, and the Meghan-isms that start piling up. (24:20–29:45) The girlfriends section: matching pajamas, cinnamon stars, pomegranate mimosas, and zero organic conversations. (29:45–34:30) Naomi Osaka arrives for cookie decorating — stiff small talk, confusing energy, and the most random vibe shift in the episode. (34:30–38:05) Chef Tom Colicchio brings beet salad, family traditions, gumbo talk, and the first moment of genuine warmth before the show snaps back to staging. (38:05–40:15) Prince Harry pops in for a taste test with playful teasing, kitchen flirting, and the only natural chemistry of the entire special. (40:15–44:30) Why Alix Earle’s boyfriend’s missed DWTS appearance became a headline. (44:30–50:10) Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski’s relationship timeline is not adding up. (50:10–End) RHOSLC: Whitney and Justin’s marriage/business tension, Meredith’s drug-test gag, and the chaotic Boston Tea Party finale showdown.
