Admittedly, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. But I Do Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's first and second seasons apart. The common opinion held that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she has returned once again with a "Festive Special" (aka a yuletide episode). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements we've come to expect – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – persist, but within the context of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan has become the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – providing 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 quite a personality, but her presence is familiar and oddly reassuring. And she seems happy enough; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, word and gaze will be picked apart and judged, but manages to seem carefree and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that clichéd phrase – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – could actually be true. The reason is, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and over the top – but is that not precisely what Christmas is for? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she sets her mind to, she executes with flair. Her cooking looks tasty, the festive decoration she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to open. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she fastens her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, overcome by holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is arranged in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but even so, after the degree of examination she has faced from the moment she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this naturally. Her unwillingness to modify or even tone down her routine, regardless of it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can depend on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will forever know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. There isn't mandatory conscription anymore, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are consumed by longing about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a duchess or a everyday person, hardly any child completely grasps the time and energy their parent does in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by imagining her children's faces when they reveal a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a candy.
