Indeed, it's Brimming with Absurdity, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Christmas Special.

No concerned with the time of year, it's perpetually open season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to shreds. The common opinion was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she is back for another round with a "Festive Special" (also known as a Christmas special). Yet now, things have shifted. The standard components audiences anticipate – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – persist, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – providing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and supplying 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 aura is known and strangely comforting. And she seems content; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She is aware her every micro expression, word and glance will be dissected and scrutinized, but still appears relaxed and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that old chestnut – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – could actually be true. Because, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is delightful. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and extravagant – but doesn't that represent exactly what Christmas is for? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she sets her mind to, she pulls off with style. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she makes is breathtaking, her presents are practically too exquisite to open. Nothing is average or ugly – even the way she fastens her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she folds wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be won over, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where greens is organized in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but even so, after the level of examination she has endured since she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this genuinely. Her unwillingness to alter or even soften her shtick, even though it being so persistently, widely parodied, is strangely reassuring. In our volatile world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will always know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a point that will certainly come as a reassurance: you are not obligated to. There isn't mandatory conscription anymore, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are gripped with jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, hardly any child truly appreciates the time and energy their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by imagining Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a sweet treat.
