Indeed, it's Full of Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the time of year, it's perpetually fair game for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to shreds. The common opinion held that a greater royal outrage had seldom occurred than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she is back with a new offering with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a Christmas special). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The familiar ingredients viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – are still present, but set of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid into place; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan has become the eccentric aunt at most festive family gatherings – offering unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 a bit of a character, but her presence is familiar and strangely comforting. And she appears content; she's not doing any harm.

She understands her every micro expression, syllable and look will be dissected and judged, but nonetheless looks relaxed and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – may well be true. The reason is, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Granted, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and over the top – but is that not exactly what the holiday season is for? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the walk she's walking seems authentically beautifully curated.

Anything she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with style. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the festive decoration she makes is breathtaking, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – even the way she ties her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, it "has a moment", and she creases gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself the entire time. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has faced from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her refusal to alter or even tone down her shtick, regardless of it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a thought that will surely come as a reassurance: you are not obligated to. There isn't the draft these days, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are consumed by jealousy about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, few children completely grasps the dedication and labor their mother does in December. So you can take heart by imagining the young royals' faces when they reveal a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, in place of a chocolate.
