Yes, it's Full of Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the time of year, it's perpetually hunting season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when eagerly tearing the program's initial installments to pieces. The general consensus seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Currently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (or a yuletide episode). But this time, things have shifted. The standard components audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, extreme hosting – remain, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan is like the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering random tips, and delivering 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 quite a personality, but her company is customary and oddly reassuring. And she seems content; she's not doing the slightest hurt.

She understands her every micro expression, word and gaze will be picked apart and scrutinized, but manages to seem relaxed and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. The reason is, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Granted, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and extravagant – but isn't that exactly what Christmas is for? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be impeccably styled.

Whatever she attempts, she accomplishes with panache. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the wreath she makes is gorgeous, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to open. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't bung a dish in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she creases wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where greens is organized in the form of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has weathered since she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this authentically. Her unwillingness to modify or even moderate her shtick, regardless of it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is something we can depend on: Meghan will remain herself, whatever happens. We will always know our position with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a thought that will certainly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. There isn't mandatory conscription in this country, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are consumed by jealousy about her flawless Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a royal or a office worker, no kid truly appreciates the dedication and labor their parent does in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing her children's faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, in place of a candy.
