Yes, it's Packed with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when gleefully ripping the program's first and second seasons to pieces. The general consensus seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she has returned with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (or a holiday episode). However on this occasion, things have shifted. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but framed of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at the typical holiday get-together – providing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and contributing 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 company is customary and strangely comforting. And she appears happy enough; she's causing any harm.

She knows her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be picked apart and scrutinized, but still appears relaxed and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. The reason is, in all honesty, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is delightful. Admittedly, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and flamboyant – but isn't that precisely what the holiday season is all about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Whatever she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with flair. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she makes is stunning, her presents are almost too pretty to tear into. Not a single thing is mediocre or ugly – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't toss a meal in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she creases gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, filled with festive joy and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where greens is arranged in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but despite that, after the level of attention she has faced from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this authentically. Her refusal to modify or even moderate her shtick, regardless of it being so constantly, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will consistently know our position with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her brand, a point that will certainly come as a relief: you don't have to. There isn't mandatory conscription these days, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are gripped with envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. If you are a duchess or a data administrator, hardly any child completely grasps the dedication and labor their mum puts in in December. So you can console yourself by picturing the young royals' faces when they reveal a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a chocolate.
