Admittedly, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Christmas Special.

No considering the season, it's perpetually hunting season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Critics, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the series' initial installments to shreds. The general consensus held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, like a merry renegade master, she is back once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a yuletide episode). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The standard components audiences anticipate – vague self-help platitudes, overzealous entertaining – remain, but framed of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan is like the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – 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 a bit of a character, but her aura is known and unexpectedly soothing. And she seems happy enough; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She understands her each tiny facial movement, utterance and gaze will be dissected and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks relaxed and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that old chestnut – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – could actually be true. The reason is, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Admittedly, it's all cringily ultra-extra, nonsense and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent precisely what Christmas is all about? And the talk she's talking might be ridiculous, but the walk she's walking appears to be impeccably styled.

Anything she sets her mind to, she pulls off with panache. Her culinary efforts looks scrumptious, the festive decoration she makes is breathtaking, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or ugly – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't bung a dish in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself the entire time. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the likeness of a festive circle?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the degree of scrutiny she has weathered since she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of acting royalty would struggle to act this authentically. Her decision to alter or even tone down her shtick, despite it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're not yet convinced by what she's selling, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you don't have to. We don't have national service in this country, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are consumed by jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, no kid fully understands the time and energy their mother puts in in December. So you can find comfort by picturing the young royals' faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
