Meghan Markle's jam has been included in a US TV round-up of pop culture moments in 2025 'to say goodbye to' along with Labubu dolls, the 6-7 meme and Katy Perry's much-mocked space flight.

Viewers were split over whether the mention of Meghan's fruit spread by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on their CNN 'New Year’s Eve Live' show in Times Square was high-praise or a devastating burn.

Cooper, 58, and Cohen, 57, were hosting the show for the ninth year straight and as always enjoyed a few drinks while they saw in 2026 together in New York.

In one comical part of the show, the friends again read their own version of the children’s book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, just before midnight.

Each year it contains a number of pop culture references - some good and bad - and invariably the hosts burst out laughing. As they said goodbye to 2025, the Duchess of Sussex got a mention in the first few lines.

'Goodnight Labubu, clipped to a Birkin, goodnight Kim Kardashian's shapewear, complete with a merkin', Cooper said after comically mispronouncing Labubu.

'Good night Coldplay kisscam. Goodnight Meghan Markle jam', Andy Cohen continued before he took a gulp of his tequila.

Viewers were split over whether the mention of Meghan's fruit spread by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on their CNN'New Year’s Eve Live' show in Times Square was high-praise or a devastating burn.

Meghan's fans were delighted with the mention of her As Ever jam, which launched in 2025

Cooper and Cohen then said their goodbyes to KPop Demon Hunters, Coldplay’s kisscam, Katy Perry in space, Nicole Kidman’s ‘post break-up hair’ and the ‘brotherly love’ in White Lotus.

There were also good wishes for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ahead of their marriage and praise for the reunion of Destiny's Child at a Beyonce gig over the summer.

The Goodnight Moon skit, which takes place every year, has split viewers.
