Indeed, it's Full of Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the time of year, it's always open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's initial installments apart. The general consensus seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a holiday episode). However on this occasion, it's different. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – persist, but framed of a yuletide episode, it all clicks into place. The puzzle has come together; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan has become the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 unexpectedly soothing. And she looks pleased; she's causing any harm.

She knows her every micro expression, syllable and look will be dissected and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks carefree and remarkably at ease.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. The reason is, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is lovely. Granted, it's all cringily ultra-extra, foolishness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent exactly what Yuletide is for? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the life she leads seems authentically impeccably styled.

Whatever she attempts, she executes with style. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she creates is gorgeous, her presents are almost too pretty to unwrap. Nothing is average or ugly – even the way she ties her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she creases wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the likeness of a festive circle?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the intensity of examination she has endured ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her unwillingness to modify or even moderate her shtick, even though it being so persistently, widely parodied, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will forever know our position with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a thought that will certainly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. We don't have mandatory conscription anymore, and if there were, it would be improbable to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are consumed by longing about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a duchess or a office worker, no kid fully understands the dedication and labor their mother does in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by envisioning her children's faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a sweet treat.
