Indeed, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, both professional and armchair, have rarely been so united as when gleefully ripping the series' earlier episodes to pieces. The prevailing view held that a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback once again with a "Christmas Special" (aka a holiday episode). But this time, things have shifted. The standard components audiences anticipate – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – persist, but framed of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan has become the quirky relative at the typical holiday get-together – offering random tips, and supplying 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 an interesting figure, but her aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she seems pleased; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, utterance and look will be analyzed and scrutinized, but manages to seem carefree and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. The reason is, you know what?, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is delightful. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent just what Yuletide is all about? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she accomplishes with style. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the holiday arrangement she creates is breathtaking, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a meal in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she wraps gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself the entire time. How could any skeptical viewer not be charmed, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but despite that, after the level of attention she has weathered since she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her unwillingness to alter or even tone down her shtick, regardless of it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a reassurance: you don't have to. We don't have mandatory conscription in this country, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are gripped with longing about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a royal or a everyday person, few children completely grasps the effort and hard work their mother does in the holiday season. So you can take heart by picturing Archie and Lilibet'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 candy.
