Admittedly, it's Packed with Absurdity, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the time of year, it's constantly hunting season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when gleefully ripping the program's earlier episodes to pieces. The common opinion seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a yuletide episode). Yet now, things have shifted. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – are still present, but within the context of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

At this stage, Meghan has become the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – providing 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 strangely comforting. And she looks content; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, syllable and glance will be dissected and judged, but nonetheless looks unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. Because, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Granted, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and over the top – but is that not precisely what the holiday season is about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the walk she's walking seems authentically impeccably styled.

Anything she attempts, she accomplishes with flair. Her recipes looks tasty, the wreath she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she secures her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "has a moment", and she wraps gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, bursting with seasonal cheer and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where greens is arranged in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but even so, after the degree of attention she has weathered from the moment she met Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her decision to modify or even soften her shtick, despite it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. 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 aren't required to. The UK has abolished national service anymore, and should it be reinstated, it would be doubtful to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are gripped with jealousy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a duchess or a office worker, few children completely grasps the dedication and labor their mother does in the holiday season. So you can take heart by envisioning the young royals' faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a candy.
