Indeed, it's Brimming with Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the time of year, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to pieces. The prevailing view seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she is back once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a holiday episode). However on this occasion, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan has become the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and contributing the periodic peculiar declaration. ("I love spinach!" … "A tradition has to have a beginning." … "A tree is part of my memory and love of the holiday season.") She's quite a personality, but her presence is familiar and strangely comforting. And she looks content; she's not doing any harm.

She understands her all subtle gestures, word and gaze will be analyzed and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – may well be true. The reason is, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is charming. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and over the top – but isn't that just what the holiday season is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the life she leads genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Whatever she sets her mind to, she pulls off with panache. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the wreath she creates is stunning, her presents are almost too pretty to open. Not a single thing is mediocre or ugly – including the way she fastens her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be won over, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where greens is positioned in the likeness of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but despite that, after the intensity of attention she has faced from the moment she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even moderate her shtick, regardless of it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will forever know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by what she's selling, a point that will surely come as a reassurance: you don't have to. We don't have the draft these days, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you choose to watch and are overcome with longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. If you are a royal or a everyday person, few children fully understands the time and energy their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing her children's faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a sweet treat.
