Indeed, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly open season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to shreds. The common opinion was that a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous pretzel re-packaging incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a Christmas special). But this time, things have shifted. The usual elements audiences anticipate – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but framed of a yuletide episode, it all clicks into place. The elements have slid together; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan has become the eccentric aunt 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 appears content; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She is aware her every micro expression, utterance and glance will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks carefree and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. The reason is, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent exactly what Christmas is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the life she leads genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she executes with style. Her cooking looks delicious, the wreath she makes is gorgeous, her presents are practically too exquisite to unwrap. Not a single thing is average or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she fastens her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "has a moment", and she wraps gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, filled with festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is organized in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but despite that, after the level of scrutiny she has endured from the moment she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her decision to change or even soften her persona, despite it being so persistently, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can depend on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will consistently know what to expect with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a point that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you don't have to. We don't have national service these days, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are overcome with envy about her flawless Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, hardly any child fully understands the time and energy their mum expends in December. So you can find comfort by envisioning Archie and Lilibet's faces when they reveal a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a sweet treat.
