Indeed, it's Brimming with Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the season, it's always fair game for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the program's earlier episodes to shreds. The common opinion was that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she has returned once again with a "Christmas Special" (aka a holiday episode). But this time, things have shifted. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but framed of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid perfectly; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

At this stage, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering unasked-for guidance, and supplying 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 presence is familiar and strangely comforting. And she appears pleased; she's not doing any harm.

She is aware her every micro expression, utterance and gaze will be analyzed and criticised, but nonetheless looks unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Because, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Granted, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and over the top – but isn't that just what Yuletide is about? And the words she speaks 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 delicious, the festive decoration she makes is breathtaking, her presents are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is ordinary or ugly – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where greens is positioned in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has faced since she started dating Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this authentically. Her unwillingness to alter or even tone down her routine, regardless of it being so persistently, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a thought that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription in this country, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you choose to watch and are overcome with envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. If you are a royal or a data administrator, no kid completely grasps the dedication and labor their parent puts in in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by envisioning her children's faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a sweet treat.
