Yes, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. But I Do Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the season, it's perpetually hunting season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the series' first and second seasons apart. The general consensus seemed to be a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Festive Special" (aka a holiday episode). However on this occasion, things have shifted. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, overzealous entertaining – are still present, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid together; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing random tips, and delivering the occasional strange exclamation. ("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 appears content; she's not doing any harm.

She knows her all subtle gestures, word and gaze will be analyzed and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks carefree and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. Since, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is delightful. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and over the top – but doesn't that represent just what Christmas is for? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the example she sets genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with style. Her culinary efforts looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is mediocre or ugly – even the way she ties her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't bung a dish in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be won over, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is arranged in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has faced ever since she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would find it hard to appear this authentically. Her refusal to modify or even soften her shtick, despite it being so persistently, widely parodied, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is something we can depend on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription in this country, and should it be reinstated, it would be doubtful to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are consumed by longing about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a royal or a everyday person, hardly any child fully understands the effort and hard work their mother does in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by imagining Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a chocolate.
