Yes, it's Full of Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly fair game for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's TV show, 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 was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Festive Special" (also known as a yuletide episode). However on this occasion, it's different. The standard components we've come to expect – vague self-help platitudes, extreme hosting – are still present, but within the context of a holiday show, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan has become the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – dispensing random tips, and contributing 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 quite a personality, but her company is customary and unexpectedly soothing. And she looks content; she's causing a bit of damage.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be dissected and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks carefree and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. Because, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and flamboyant – but isn't that just what the holiday season is for? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the life she leads genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she executes with panache. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the festive decoration she makes is breathtaking, her presents are practically too exquisite to open. Nothing is average or ugly – even the way she fastens her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she creases gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, filled with festive joy and left with a intense desire for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is arranged in the likeness of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but nonetheless, after the intensity of scrutiny she has faced from the moment she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this authentically. Her unwillingness to modify or even soften her routine, even though it being so relentlessly, widely parodied, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying her message, a reminder that will surely come as a reassurance: you are not obligated to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription anymore, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you choose to watch and are gripped with envy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a duchess or a data administrator, few children truly appreciates the time and energy their parent does in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, in place of a chocolate.
