Admittedly, it's Packed with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the series' initial installments apart. The common opinion seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she has returned once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (or a Christmas special). However on this occasion, it's different. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – persist, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid into place; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

At this stage, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at most festive family gatherings – providing unasked-for guidance, and delivering 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 company is customary and strangely comforting. And she appears content; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, syllable and gaze will be picked apart and criticised, but still appears unburdened and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. Because, you know what?, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Granted, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and flamboyant – but isn't that just what Christmas is about? And the advice she gives might be ridiculous, but the walk she's walking seems authentically beautifully curated.

Whatever she sets her mind to, she pulls off with style. Her cooking looks tasty, the festive decoration she makes is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Not a single thing is average or ugly – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't bung a dish in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she creases gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be completely savoring herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where greens is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but despite that, after the level of examination she has endured from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even tone down her routine, despite it being so constantly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her brand, a point that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription anymore, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you choose to watch and are overcome with longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a duchess or a office worker, few children fully understands the dedication and labor their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing the young royals' faces when they unfold a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a sweet treat.
