Indeed, it's Full of Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the time of year, it's perpetually fair game for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the program's earlier episodes to shreds. The common opinion was that a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Festive Special" (aka a yuletide episode). Yet now, it's different. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but set of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

At this stage, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing 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 company is customary and strangely comforting. And she looks pleased; she's causing any harm.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, utterance and look will be dissected and criticised, but nonetheless looks unburdened and remarkably at ease.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. Since, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is lovely. Granted, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and flamboyant – but isn't that precisely what Yuletide is about? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the life she leads seems authentically shop-bought.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she executes with flair. Her recipes looks delicious, the wreath she crafts is stunning, her presents are practically too exquisite to tear into. Not a single thing is average or visually unappealing – even the way she fastens her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't bung a dish in the oven, it "has a moment", and she wraps wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself the entire time. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but despite that, after the intensity of attention she has weathered ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this authentically. Her decision to change or even soften her shtick, despite it being so relentlessly, widely parodied, is strangely reassuring. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a point that will surely come as a relief: you don't have to. We don't have national service these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are gripped with envy about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, no kid truly appreciates the dedication and labor their mother puts in in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by envisioning Archie and Lilibet's faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, in place of a candy.
