Admittedly, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No considering the time of year, it's always open season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the program's first and second seasons to shreds. The prevailing view seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she is back once again with a "Christmas Special" (aka a holiday episode). But this time, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan is like the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – providing unasked-for guidance, and delivering 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 an interesting figure, but her company is customary and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears content; she's not doing the slightest hurt.

She knows her all subtle gestures, syllable and glance will be dissected and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks relaxed and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Since, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Granted, it's all cringily ultra-extra, foolishness and over the top – but is that not exactly what Christmas is for? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the example she sets genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she pulls off with flair. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the holiday arrangement she creates is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she secures her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she creases gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be completely savoring herself the entire time. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, bursting with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but even so, after the level of attention she has weathered ever since she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this authentically. Her unwillingness to change or even soften her shtick, even though it being so persistently, widely parodied, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a thought that will surely come as a reassurance: you don't have to. There isn't the draft anymore, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are consumed by jealousy about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a duchess or a everyday person, hardly any child fully understands the effort and hard work their mother expends in the holiday season. So you can take heart by imagining Archie and Lilibet's faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
