Admittedly, it's Packed with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the time of year, it's always hunting season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the program's first and second seasons to shreds. The general consensus was that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she has returned with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (or a holiday episode). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but framed of a holiday show, it all clicks into place. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan resembles the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing 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 quite a personality, but her company is customary and oddly reassuring. And she looks content; she's causing any harm.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and glance will be picked apart and criticised, but manages to seem relaxed and too blessed to be stressed.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Since, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Granted, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and flamboyant – but isn't that precisely what Yuletide is about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the example she sets appears to be beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she executes with flair. Her cooking looks delicious, the festive decoration she crafts is breathtaking, her presents are almost too pretty to tear into. Nothing is average or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she ties her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "has a moment", and she creases gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, overcome by festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where greens is organized in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the level of examination she has faced since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even moderate her routine, despite it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our uncertain world, here is something we can depend on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a thought that will certainly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. There isn't national service in this country, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include streaming 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 data administrator, hardly any child truly appreciates the dedication and labor their parent expends in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by picturing the young royals' faces when they unfold a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a sweet treat.
