Admittedly, it's Full of Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the time of year, it's always fair game for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the series' earlier episodes to pieces. The prevailing view seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had never been witnessed than the notorious pretzel-bagging incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a yuletide episode). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, overzealous entertaining – are still present, but within the context of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come together; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan has become the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing random tips, 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 an interesting figure, but her company is customary and unexpectedly soothing. And she seems happy enough; she's not doing the slightest hurt.

She understands her all subtle gestures, word and glance will be analyzed and judged, but still appears unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – may well be true. Because, in all honesty, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and over the top – but doesn't that represent exactly what Christmas is about? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the life she leads appears to be shop-bought.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with panache. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she crafts is breathtaking, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Nothing is average or ugly – even the way she ties her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a meal in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself the entire time. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but nonetheless, after the level of attention she has weathered since she started dating Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this authentically. Her unwillingness to change or even moderate her routine, despite it being so persistently, widely parodied, is strangely reassuring. In our uncertain world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, come what may. We will consistently know our position with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. We don't have mandatory conscription 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 longing about her flawless Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a duchess or a data administrator, no kid fully understands the dedication and labor their mother expends in the holiday season. So you can find comfort 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, instead of a chocolate.
