Admittedly, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the season, it's always open season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Critics, both professional and armchair, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the program's initial installments to shreds. The general consensus held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (or a Christmas special). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The standard components audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but framed of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan has become the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing unasked-for guidance, 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 quite a personality, but her company is customary and unexpectedly soothing. And she seems pleased; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, utterance and look will be analyzed and scrutinized, but manages to seem relaxed and too blessed to be stressed.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – could actually be true. Because, let's face it, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Granted, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent exactly what Yuletide is for? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the example she sets genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Whatever she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with flair. Her cooking looks delicious, the festive decoration she makes is stunning, her presents are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Nothing is mediocre or ugly – even the way she fastens her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a meal in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she creases wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has endured ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her refusal to alter or even soften her shtick, despite it being so constantly, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will forever know our position with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a thought that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you don't have to. There isn't national service anymore, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are overcome with jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, there is hope either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, few children fully understands the effort and hard work their parent does in December. So you can console yourself by picturing her children's faces when they unfold a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a candy.
