Yes, it's Full of Absurdity, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Adore Meghan's Christmas Special.

No concerned with the season, it's constantly open season for commentary on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the program's first and second seasons to pieces. The prevailing view held that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a yuletide episode). But this time, it's different. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but framed of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing random tips, and contributing the odd random outburst. ("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 a bit of a character, but her aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she appears pleased; she's not doing any harm.

She knows her all subtle gestures, utterance and gaze will be analyzed and judged, but still appears unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. The reason is, in all honesty, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is lovely. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and over the top – but isn't that exactly what Christmas is about? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the example she sets seems authentically beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she accomplishes with panache. Her culinary efforts looks scrumptious, the holiday arrangement she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is average or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she fastens her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she creases wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, overcome by holiday spirit and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where greens is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but even so, after the level of examination she has faced ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this naturally. Her unwillingness to alter or even soften her shtick, despite it being so relentlessly, widely parodied, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, whatever happens. We will always know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a reminder that will certainly come as a relief: you aren't required to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription in this country, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are overcome with envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, hardly any child completely grasps the effort and hard work their parent puts in in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, instead of a chocolate.
