Indeed, it's Brimming with Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the time of year, it's always hunting season for commentary on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's initial installments to shreds. The general consensus held that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Now, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback once again with a "Festive Special" (also known as a yuletide episode). Yet now, it's different. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but within the context of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan resembles the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – 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 aura is known and unexpectedly soothing. And she seems content; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and gaze will be picked apart and criticised, but nonetheless looks relaxed and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – may well be true. Since, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Granted, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and extravagant – but is that not precisely what Christmas is all about? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the life she leads genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with flair. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the wreath she creates is stunning, her presents are almost too pretty to open. Not a single thing is average or ugly – including the way she fastens her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, overcome by festive joy and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where greens is organized in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, naturally, but even so, after the degree of examination she has endured ever since she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her refusal to modify or even soften her persona, even though it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her message, a point that will undoubtedly come as a relief: you aren't required to. We don't have the draft anymore, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are gripped with envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a duchess or a everyday person, few children completely grasps the effort and hard work their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by picturing the young royals' faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a sweet treat.
