Admittedly, it's Packed with Absurdity, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's initial installments apart. The common opinion was that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the now-infamous pretzel-bagging incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (or a Christmas special). But this time, things have shifted. The standard components audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but within the context of a yuletide episode, it all clicks into place. The elements have slid together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

Now, Meghan is like the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – offering unasked-for guidance, 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 a bit of a character, but her presence is familiar and oddly reassuring. And she seems happy enough; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She understands her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be analyzed and criticised, but nonetheless looks unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. The reason is, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and extravagant – but doesn't that represent just what the holiday season is about? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the life she leads appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with flair. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the festive decoration she crafts is stunning, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Not a single thing is average or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she fastens her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself the entire time. How could any cynical observer not be charmed, filled with festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where greens is arranged in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but even so, after the degree of examination she has weathered since she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her decision to alter or even tone down her routine, even though it being so constantly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will stay true to form, come what may. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her brand, a reminder that will certainly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. The UK has abolished national service these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are consumed by longing about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. If you are a duchess or a everyday person, no kid completely grasps the time and energy their mum does in December. So you can find comfort by envisioning the young royals' faces when they reveal a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a chocolate.
