Yes, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the season, it's constantly fair game for criticism on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, both professional and armchair, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to pieces. The common opinion held that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back with a new offering with a "Holiday Celebration" (or a Christmas special). But this time, it's different. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, overzealous entertaining – are still present, but within the context of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she seems pleased; she's causing a bit of damage.

She knows her all subtle gestures, syllable and gaze will be analyzed and criticised, but still appears relaxed and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. Because, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is lovely. Granted, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and extravagant – but is that not precisely what the holiday season is about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the life she leads seems authentically impeccably styled.

Whatever she sets her mind to, she executes with flair. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the wreath she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are practically too exquisite to tear into. Nothing is average or visually unappealing – including the way she ties her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she folds gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, overcome by holiday spirit and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is organized in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has faced from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would struggle to act this naturally. Her refusal to modify or even soften her routine, regardless of it being so persistently, widely parodied, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will consistently know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a point that will surely come as a relief: you don't have to. There isn't 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 overcome with jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a royal or a data administrator, few children truly appreciates the time and energy their mother does in the holiday season. So you can take heart 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, in place of a chocolate.
