Admittedly, it's Brimming with Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly open season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when enthusiastically shredding the program's first and second seasons to shreds. The general consensus was that a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the now-infamous pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a Christmas special). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, extreme hosting – persist, but framed of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – dispensing random tips, 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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and unexpectedly soothing. And she looks content; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She knows her all subtle gestures, utterance and gaze will be dissected and criticised, but nonetheless looks unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – may well be true. Because, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and over the top – but is that not just what Yuletide is all about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the life she leads seems authentically shop-bought.

Anything she sets her mind to, she executes with style. Her recipes looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Nothing is average or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "has a moment", and she creases wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, bursting with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the degree of scrutiny she has endured since she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her refusal to change or even moderate her shtick, regardless of it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, whatever happens. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a reminder that will surely come as a comfort: you aren't required to. The UK has abolished national service these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are consumed by jealousy about her flawless Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, hardly any child completely grasps the dedication and labor their mum does 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 homemade Advent calendar, rather than a candy.
