Meghan Markle kicked off the holiday season with her new Netflix Christmas special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.
The episode delivers the cozy, inviting format fans love, giving viewers a closer look at how the Duchess of Sussex gets creative for the holidays, entertains, and cooks (not to mention what's in her winter wardrobe). After tuning in, we couldn't help but want to refresh our own holiday setups. So we rounded up a few hosting essentials from Amazon that can make your upcoming gatherings feel just as thoughtful and inviting.
Each pick was inspired by the hosting ideas and touches Meghan shared in the special, which includes a marble charcuterie board, festive coffee mugs, garland table runners, and more, starting at $20.
In one segment of the show, Meghan is seen putting together a crudité platter for tennis champion Naomi Osaka on a round marble lazy Susan, much like this one. It's the kind of piece that instantly makes hosting easier -- give it a spin, and everyone can grab what they need without the table shuffle. It adds a polished touch to any spread and quietly makes you look like a pro host.
At the end of With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, viewers get a peek at the host's elegantly styled table. It includes beautifully arranged place settings, sparkling stemware, glowing candles, and a centerpiece filled with holiday greenery.
This lighted lifelike evergreen with pine cones and berries, which one reviewer says "really enhanced" their Christmas table décor, could bring that same warm glow to yours. It's battery-operated, comes with a small remote, and even has a timer so you never have to think about turning it on or off.
