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

No matter the season, it's always open season for commentary on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's earlier episodes to shreds. The common opinion seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she has returned for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (aka a holiday episode). But this time, it's different. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – persist, but set of a yuletide episode, it all clicks into place. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan has become the oddball family member 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 aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she looks content; she's not doing any harm.

She understands her every micro expression, syllable and glance will be dissected and criticised, but nonetheless looks unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. Because, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent precisely what Yuletide is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the walk she's walking appears to be shop-bought.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with style. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the festive decoration she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are practically too exquisite to tear into. Not a single thing is mediocre or visually unappealing – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, it "has a moment", and she creases gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself the entire time. How could any skeptical viewer not be won over, filled with festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but despite that, after the level of examination she has weathered since she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this genuinely. Her unwillingness to modify or even moderate her routine, even though it being so constantly, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will remain herself, whatever happens. We will always know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a point that will undoubtedly come as a relief: you are not obligated to. We don't have the draft these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are consumed by jealousy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, hardly any child truly appreciates the dedication and labor their mum does in December. So you can find comfort by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they unfold a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a sweet treat.
