Indeed, it's Packed with Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No considering the time of year, it's always open season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the program's first and second seasons to shreds. The general consensus was that a greater royal outrage had seldom occurred than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she is back with a new offering with a "Holiday Celebration" (or a yuletide episode). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but set of a yuletide episode, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen together; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan has become the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering 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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and oddly reassuring. And she appears happy enough; she's causing a bit of damage.

She understands her each tiny facial movement, word and glance will be analyzed and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks carefree and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. The reason is, let's face it, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Granted, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and extravagant – but isn't that just what the holiday season is about? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she executes with panache. Her cooking looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she makes is breathtaking, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't bung a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself from start to finish. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the form of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but despite that, after the degree of scrutiny she has faced since she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her decision to alter or even moderate her shtick, even though it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a thought that will certainly come as a reassurance: you aren't required to. There isn't national service in this country, and if there were, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you choose to watch and are gripped with longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. If you are a royal or a everyday person, no kid truly appreciates the effort and hard work their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by envisioning her children's faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, in place of a chocolate.
