Indeed, it's Full of 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 perpetually hunting season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's first and second seasons apart. The common opinion was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Currently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a yuletide episode). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The standard components we've come to expect – vague self-help platitudes, overzealous entertaining – are still present, but set of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

At this stage, Meghan is like the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – dispensing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and delivering 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 quite a personality, but her aura is known and unexpectedly soothing. And she seems happy enough; she's inflicting any harm.

She knows her every micro expression, word and look will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks unburdened and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the first occasion in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. Because, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and over the top – but doesn't that represent precisely what the holiday season is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the life she leads seems authentically beautifully curated.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she executes with style. Her recipes looks delicious, the festive decoration she crafts is breathtaking, her presents are practically too exquisite to open. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she ties her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, it "has a moment", and she wraps wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, filled with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where greens is arranged in the likeness of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has endured ever since she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her unwillingness to change or even soften her routine, despite it being so persistently, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will consistently know what to expect with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a point that will surely come as a comfort: you don't have to. The UK has abolished national service in this country, and if there were, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you choose to watch and are gripped with jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a royal or a data administrator, no kid completely grasps the time and energy their mum expends in December. So you can console yourself by envisioning her children's faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a sweet treat.
