Indeed, it's Full of Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No considering the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the program's initial installments to pieces. The prevailing view held that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (aka a yuletide episode). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, overzealous entertaining – remain, but framed of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing unasked-for guidance, 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 a bit of a character, but her presence is familiar and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears content; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, word and look will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks relaxed and remarkably at ease.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. Since, you know what?, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and extravagant – but is that not just what Christmas is about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks shop-bought.

Anything she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with style. Her cooking looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she makes is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to open. Not a single thing is ordinary or visually unappealing – even the way she fastens her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she creases wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, filled with festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but even so, after the level of examination she has faced since she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this authentically. Her unwillingness to change or even moderate her shtick, despite it being so constantly, widely parodied, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will always know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a point that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. We don't have mandatory conscription in this country, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you decide to tune in and are gripped with envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a duchess or a data administrator, hardly any child fully understands the effort and hard work their mum 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 homemade Advent calendar, in place of a chocolate.
