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

No concerned with the season, it's always fair game for criticism on the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the program's initial installments to shreds. The common opinion seemed to be a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she is back for another round with a "Festive Special" (or a Christmas special). But this time, things have shifted. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, extreme hosting – are still present, but framed of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The elements have slid together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and contributing 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 presence is familiar and unexpectedly soothing. And she seems content; she's causing any harm.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, word and glance will be dissected and criticised, but manages to seem unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – could actually be true. Because, in all honesty, all aspects 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 precisely what Christmas is all about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the life she leads genuinely looks shop-bought.

Anything she sets her mind to, she pulls off with panache. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the holiday arrangement she creates is stunning, her gifts are practically too exquisite to tear into. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – including the way she secures her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she folds gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be won over, overcome by holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps 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 despite that, after the degree of attention she has endured from the moment she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even moderate her persona, despite it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will forever know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a point that will certainly come as a relief: you don't have to. The UK has abolished the draft anymore, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you choose to watch and are overcome with envy about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. Whether you're a royal or a everyday person, few children fully understands the time and energy their mother expends in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by imagining the young royals' faces when they reveal a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a candy.
