Indeed, it's Packed with Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the season, it's always open season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the program's earlier episodes to shreds. The prevailing view 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 is back with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (or a holiday episode). Yet now, things have shifted. The standard components audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, overzealous entertaining – are still present, but set of a yuletide episode, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

Now, Meghan is like the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – dispensing random tips, and supplying the odd random outburst. ("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 oddly reassuring. And she appears happy enough; she's inflicting any harm.

She knows her every micro expression, syllable and gaze will be dissected and criticised, but still appears unburdened and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. Because, let's face it, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and extravagant – but is that not precisely what the holiday season is all about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks shop-bought.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with style. Her recipes looks tasty, the wreath she creates is breathtaking, her presents are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is ordinary or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she secures her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she creases wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be charmed, filled with holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the form of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the degree of scrutiny she has endured since she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this naturally. Her decision to change or even tone down her shtick, regardless of it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is oddly heartening. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will always know our position with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a point that will surely come as a reassurance: you aren't required to. We don't have the draft anymore, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are gripped with envy about her flawless Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a royal or a data administrator, no kid completely grasps the effort and hard work their mother does in December. 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 candy.
