The former Suits actress added that “every single holiday is a new adventure” for their family, noting that it’s important that her children discover the “magic” of their holiday traditions. She gave examples of having “great recipes that they end up connecting to a formative memory” during Thanksgiving and leaving “carrots for the reindeer” on Christmas.
“We’re always making sure we have something fun to do,” Meghan explained. “Like any other family you spend time having a great meal and then what do you do? Play games, all the same stuff, someone brings a guitar—fun.”
Meghan went on to say that their Thanksgiving plans are “always low-key,” and gushed that “being close to my mom is great.” While Meghan and Harry, 40, live in Montecito, her mother Doria Ragland lives in Los Angeles.
While they keep Thanksgiving small and simple, Meghan said that they’re always open to having more guests.
“I was thinking about, in the past few years of having Thanksgiving here, like many of us, I think you always make sure there’s room at the table for your friends who don’t have family, which is really key,” Meghan shared.
She also revealed that one year, Gloria Steinem “came for Thanksgiving.”
