Admittedly, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the season, it's constantly open season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the program's earlier episodes to pieces. The common opinion was that a more egregious regal scandal had never been witnessed than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (aka a yuletide episode). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements we've come to expect – vague self-help platitudes, overzealous entertaining – are still present, but set of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The puzzle has come together; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan is like the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – providing random tips, 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 aura is known and strangely comforting. And she looks content; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her every micro expression, word and glance will be analyzed and criticised, but still appears carefree and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that clichéd phrase – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. The reason is, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is lovely. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and flamboyant – but is that not precisely what the holiday season is all about? And the talk she's talking might be ridiculous, but the example she sets seems authentically beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with style. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the festive decoration she creates is breathtaking, her gifts are practically too exquisite to open. Not a single thing is ordinary or visually unappealing – including the way she ties her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a dish in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she wraps gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself from start to finish. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the shape of a festive circle?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but despite that, after the degree of attention she has faced from the moment she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this authentically. Her unwillingness to change or even soften her routine, despite it being so constantly, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our uncertain world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a thought that will surely come as a relief: you aren't required to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are gripped with jealousy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a duchess or a data administrator, few children truly appreciates the dedication and labor their mum expends in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a chocolate.
