Indeed, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly hunting season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the program's earlier episodes to pieces. The common opinion seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the now-infamous pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a yuletide episode). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements audiences anticipate – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but set of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen together; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – offering random tips, and supplying 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 oddly reassuring. And she looks content; she's inflicting any harm.

She knows her every micro expression, utterance and gaze will be dissected and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks relaxed and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the first occasion in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Since, you know what?, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and over the top – but isn't that exactly what Yuletide is all about? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the life she leads seems authentically beautifully curated.

Whatever she sets her mind to, she executes with style. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the holiday arrangement she crafts is breathtaking, her presents are almost too pretty to open. Nothing is average or ugly – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't toss a meal in the oven, it "has a moment", and she folds wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself the entire time. How could any skeptical viewer not be won over, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the intensity of scrutiny she has weathered from the moment she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her unwillingness to modify or even soften her shtick, regardless of it being so persistently, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will consistently know our position with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you don't have to. There isn't mandatory conscription in this country, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you decide to tune in and are consumed by envy about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. If you are a duchess or a everyday person, no kid truly appreciates the time and energy their parent does in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by picturing the young royals' faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a sweet treat.
