Indeed, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the time of year, it's always hunting season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to pieces. The common opinion held that a more egregious regal scandal had never been witnessed than the notorious pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Christmas Special" (aka a Christmas special). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but set of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and contributing the occasional strange exclamation. ("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 unexpectedly soothing. And she appears happy enough; she's not doing any harm.

She knows her every micro expression, utterance and look will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks carefree and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. Because, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and extravagant – but is that not just what the holiday season is about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she attempts, she pulls off with flair. Her recipes looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she makes is breathtaking, her presents are practically too exquisite to open. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she ties her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she folds wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself the entire time. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, filled with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is organized in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the level of examination she has weathered from the moment she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her refusal to change or even soften her routine, despite it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will consistently know what to expect 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 mandatory conscription these days, and were it to return, it would be doubtful to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are gripped with longing about her flawless Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a duchess or a office worker, hardly any child fully understands the effort and hard work their mother puts in in the holiday season. So you can take heart by envisioning her children's faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a sweet treat.
