Indeed, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly 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 eagerly tearing the program's first and second seasons to pieces. The general consensus was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a Christmas special). However on this occasion, things have shifted. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but within the context of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing 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 all subtle gestures, syllable and glance will be dissected and criticised, but manages to seem unburdened and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. Because, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is lovely. Granted, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent just what Christmas is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the example she sets appears to be impeccably styled.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with panache. Her recipes looks delicious, the wreath she crafts is stunning, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Not a single thing is mediocre or ugly – even the way she secures her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she folds gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be charmed, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the form of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but despite that, after the level of attention she has endured from the moment she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her decision to change or even tone down her routine, despite it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is oddly heartening. 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 relief: you aren't required to. There isn't national service anymore, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you decide to tune in and are consumed by jealousy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, no kid fully understands the effort and hard work their parent does in December. So you can console yourself by envisioning Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a sweet treat.
