Yes, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Cherish Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the season, it's constantly open season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's earlier episodes to shreds. The general consensus seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she is back once again with a "Festive Special" (or a Christmas special). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, extreme hosting – persist, but within the context of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and supplying the periodic peculiar declaration. ("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 content; she's causing a bit of damage.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, syllable and look will be analyzed and scrutinized, but still appears unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – may well be true. The reason is, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Yes, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and over the top – but doesn't that represent just what Christmas is about? And the advice she gives might be ridiculous, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she attempts, she pulls off with style. Her recipes looks delicious, the holiday arrangement she creates is breathtaking, her gifts are almost too pretty to open. Not a single thing is ordinary or ugly – even the way she ties her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself the entire time. How could any cynical observer not be charmed, bursting with festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where broccoli is organized in the form of a festive circle?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has faced from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this genuinely. Her unwillingness to change or even tone down her routine, regardless of it being so persistently, globally mocked, is strangely reassuring. In our uncertain world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a point that will undoubtedly come as a relief: you don't have to. We don't have national service these days, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are overcome with longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a duchess or a data administrator, no kid fully understands the time and energy their parent puts in in December. So you can find comfort by picturing the young royals' faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a sweet treat.
