Admittedly, it's Packed with Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the season, it's perpetually hunting season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the series' first and second seasons to shreds. The general consensus was that a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Christmas Special" (or a Christmas special). Yet now, it's different. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but set of a holiday show, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

Now, Meghan has become the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – dispensing unasked-for guidance, 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 an interesting figure, but her presence is familiar and strangely comforting. And she looks happy enough; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, word and gaze will be analyzed and scrutinized, but still appears carefree and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – may well be true. The reason is, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and over the top – but is that not just what Christmas is all about? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the life she leads seems authentically beautifully curated.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with panache. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the holiday arrangement she crafts is breathtaking, her gifts are almost too pretty to tear into. Not a single thing is ordinary or ugly – including the way she ties her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she folds gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, overcome by holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the form of a festive circle?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has endured since she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this authentically. Her unwillingness to alter or even moderate her routine, regardless of it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will be like this, whatever happens. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a reminder that will certainly come as a relief: you don't have to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are gripped with longing about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, hardly any child truly appreciates the effort and hard work their mother puts in in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by envisioning Archie and Lilibet's faces when they unfold a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
