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

No considering the time of year, it's constantly hunting season for commentary on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Critics, both professional and armchair, have rarely been so united as when gleefully ripping the series' first and second seasons to pieces. The general consensus seemed to be a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Currently, like a merry renegade master, she is back with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (or a Christmas special). However on this occasion, it's different. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – persist, but framed of a yuletide episode, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan is like the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – dispensing 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 an interesting figure, but her aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she seems happy enough; she's not doing any harm.

She understands her every micro expression, word and glance will be dissected and judged, but nonetheless looks carefree and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. The reason is, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and over the top – but doesn't that represent precisely what Yuletide is all about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the walk she's walking seems authentically impeccably styled.

Whatever she attempts, she pulls off with panache. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the holiday arrangement she crafts is stunning, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, 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 won over, bursting with seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where greens is arranged in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the level of scrutiny she has endured from the moment she met Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her refusal to modify or even moderate her shtick, even though it being so constantly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a point that will certainly come as a reassurance: you don't have to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription anymore, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you choose to watch and are gripped with envy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a duchess or a everyday person, hardly any child truly appreciates the effort and hard work their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can take heart 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, rather than a candy.
