Indeed, it's Full of Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No considering the season, it's always open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when gleefully ripping the program's earlier episodes to shreds. The general consensus seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (aka a Christmas special). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – are still present, but within the context of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan resembles the quirky relative at the typical holiday get-together – offering unasked-for guidance, and supplying 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 strangely comforting. And she appears pleased; she's not doing the slightest hurt.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, word and gaze will be picked apart and criticised, but manages to seem unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. Because, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent precisely what the holiday season is for? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the life she leads genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with panache. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she makes is stunning, her presents are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she secures her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she folds gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, overcome by festive joy and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is organized in the form of a festive circle?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, of course, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has faced ever since she met Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even soften her routine, regardless of it being so relentlessly, widely parodied, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a reminder that will certainly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. The UK has abolished the draft these days, and if there were, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are consumed by envy about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. Whether you're a duchess or a everyday person, hardly any child truly appreciates the time and energy their mum expends in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by envisioning the young royals' faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, in place of a candy.
