Yes, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly open season for criticism on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Critics, both professional and armchair, have rarely been so united as when eagerly tearing the series' earlier episodes apart. The common opinion was that a greater royal outrage had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Currently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Festive Special" (also known as a Christmas special). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The standard components audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, overzealous entertaining – persist, but set of a yuletide episode, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan is like the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she appears happy enough; she's not doing a bit of damage.

She knows her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be analyzed and judged, but manages to seem carefree and too blessed to be stressed.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. The reason is, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is lovely. Granted, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and extravagant – but is that not just what Yuletide is about? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the walk she's walking seems authentically shop-bought.

Anything she attempts, she executes with panache. Her recipes looks tasty, the wreath she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to open. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she ties her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "has a moment", and she folds wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be won over, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where greens is positioned in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the degree of attention she has endured from the moment she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this genuinely. Her unwillingness to alter or even moderate her shtick, regardless of it being so persistently, widely parodied, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will consistently know where we are 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. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription in this country, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are overcome with envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a royal or a data administrator, no kid fully understands the time and energy their mum does in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing her children's faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a candy.
