Meghan & Harry Turn Christmas Special Into a Kiss Marathon — Viewers Ask: “Is This a Cooking Show or a Publicity Stunt?” Meghan’s festive special promised warmth, nostalgia, and homemade holiday cheer, but viewers instead found themselves watching the Sussexes lock lips every few minutes like reality

The moment Harry steps into the kitchen, the atmosphere shifts. Meghan is cooking gumbo with chef Tom Colicchio

when Harry strolls in with a breezy, “Hi guys,” and immediately leans in to kiss his wife.

Meghan giggles, introduces him as “my husband,” and the energy becomes unmistakably romantic. Some would say overly so.

Then the kisses keep coming.

As Meghan plates the gumbo—her mother’s recipe, adjusted over the years to accommodate Harry’s spice sensitivities—she teases him about sweating through the Andouille sausage. Harry plays along, smiling, shaking his head, offering quips about salads, anchovies, and food “puncturing through the top of his head.”

But every exchange ends the same way: another kiss. Another lingering moment. Another perfectly framed shot.

By the time Meghan leans in to kiss him again while he eats, even longtime fans began asking the same question online:

Is this just holiday affection… or a carefully staged message?

Viewers couldn’t miss how every kiss was centered, highlighted, and edited almost as dramatically as the food and décor.
