Yes, it's Brimming with Absurdity, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Love Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the season, it's constantly open 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' initial installments apart. The general consensus held that a greater royal outrage had seldom occurred than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a yuletide episode). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, extreme hosting – persist, but framed of a holiday show, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

At this stage, Meghan has become the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – providing unasked-for guidance, and delivering 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 quite a personality, but her aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she appears pleased; she's causing a bit of damage.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and gaze will be picked apart and criticised, but nonetheless looks carefree and remarkably at ease.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – may well be true. Because, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent precisely what the holiday season is for? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the example she sets genuinely looks impeccably styled.

Anything she attempts, she accomplishes with panache. Her recipes looks tasty, the festive decoration she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Not a single thing is mediocre or visually unappealing – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't bung a meal in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be won over, filled with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but even so, after the intensity of attention she has endured since she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her refusal to modify or even tone down her shtick, despite it being so persistently, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a thought that will certainly come as a reassurance: you aren't required to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription in this country, and if there were, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are gripped with longing about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. If you are a royal or a everyday person, no kid truly appreciates the time and energy their parent does in December. So you can console yourself by envisioning her children's faces when they unfold a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, instead of a candy.
