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

No concerned with the time of year, it's perpetually fair game for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's earlier episodes apart. The general consensus held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she has returned once again with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a yuletide episode). But this time, it's different. The familiar ingredients we've come to expect – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – persist, but within the context of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

Now, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at most festive family gatherings – providing random tips, and delivering 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 a bit of a character, but her aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she seems happy enough; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and look will be picked apart and judged, but nonetheless looks unburdened and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. Since, in all honesty, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Granted, it's all cringily ultra-extra, foolishness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent exactly what the holiday season is about? And the advice she gives might be ridiculous, but the example she sets appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she executes with style. Her recipes looks tasty, the festive decoration she crafts is stunning, her gifts are practically too exquisite to tear into. Not a single thing is mediocre or ugly – even the way she secures her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the likeness of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but despite that, after the intensity of attention she has faced ever since she met Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would find it hard to appear this authentically. Her refusal to change or even moderate her routine, even though it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her message, a point that will certainly come as a relief: you don't have to. There isn't national service anymore, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are consumed by jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. If you are a duchess or a office worker, few children truly appreciates the dedication and labor their parent does in December. So you can find comfort by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they reveal a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a candy.
