Royal correspondent Danielle Stacy noted the project fits Meghan's long standing enthusiasm for Christmas.

She has to stop with these stupid quips, one user wrote on x Another remark, normal people don't make their own chips, But whatever, I don't want to watch someone doing this on the show. Reviews of season one were not great. The Guardian described the show as gormless lifestyle filler, while The Telegraph called it insane.
