Yes, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the time of year, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the series' earlier episodes to shreds. The prevailing view seemed to be a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous pretzel-bagging incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she is back with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (aka a holiday episode). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan is like the quirky relative 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 an interesting figure, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she seems content; she's inflicting any harm.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and glance will be analyzed and scrutinized, but still appears relaxed and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. Because, let's face it, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and extravagant – but isn't that exactly what Christmas is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the life she leads genuinely looks impeccably styled.

Anything she sets her mind to, she pulls off with flair. Her culinary efforts looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is mediocre or ugly – including the way she fastens her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't toss a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she folds wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where greens is positioned in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has faced from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her unwillingness to alter or even tone down her persona, even though it being so constantly, widely parodied, is strangely reassuring. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can depend on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a thought that will surely come as a relief: you are not obligated to. There isn't the draft anymore, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you choose to watch and are overcome with envy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a duchess or a office worker, no kid completely grasps the time and energy their mother expends in the holiday season. So you can take heart by envisioning the young royals' faces when they unfold a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a sweet treat.
