Meghan Markle is gearing up to spread holiday cheers with a special move.
The official Instagram account of her lifestyle brand As Ever announced on Wednesday, September 30, that an exciting holiday surprise is “on its way,” sparking anticipation among fans.
“A little holiday magic is on its way. 24 days of sweet surprises, made for the joy of anticipation. Our first-ever Advent Calendar is coming tomorrow,” the Duchess of Sussex joyfully announced.
A sweet countdown with a personal touch
The Duchess’s festive surprise introduces her brand’s first-ever Advent Calendar, with a delightful twist, as it will be filled with 24 handcrafted chocolates inspired by Harry and Meghan’s Montecito garden in their California home, with each compartment offering a sweet surprise for the days leading up to Christmas.
In the post, the mother of two offered glimpses of the new calendar, featuring an image that depicts a warmly lit, Mediterranean-style villa at night time, decorated for the festive season with a large Christmas wreath hanging prominently on the front door, while small lanterns illuminate the entryway steps.
Like the advent calendar, the chocolates feature gold labels with numbers arranged in a scattered order and what appears to be Meghan Markle’s handwriting, marking another major personal touch along with the Montecito home image.
“A magical celebration of the season. Twenty-four handcrafted chocolates to sweeten each day, thoughtfully inspired by our Montecito garden,” read the calendar, featuring As Ever’s logo.
The limited-edition calendar marks another major collaboration between As Ever and Los Angeles-based luxury chocolate brand Compartés, who previously partnered in 2025 and 2026.
Meghan Markle about her Montecito home
The Duchess of Sussex holds her and Prince Harry’s Montecito home very close to her heart, as in 2022, she told The Cut, “We did everything we could to get this house. Because you walk in and go… Joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free.”
