Admittedly, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the season, it's always hunting season for criticism on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have rarely been so united as when gleefully ripping the series' first and second seasons to shreds. The prevailing view held that a greater royal outrage had seldom occurred than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she is back with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (aka a holiday episode). However on this occasion, things have shifted. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but within the context of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan has become the quirky relative at the typical holiday get-together – offering 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 aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she seems content; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She is aware her every micro expression, word and look will be picked apart and criticised, but nonetheless looks relaxed and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – could actually be true. The reason is, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and flamboyant – but isn't that precisely what the holiday season is for? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the example she sets seems authentically beautifully curated.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with flair. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she makes is gorgeous, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is ordinary or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a meal in the oven, it "has a moment", and she wraps wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be won over, bursting with festive joy and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has endured ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this naturally. Her refusal to modify or even moderate her persona, regardless of it being so relentlessly, widely parodied, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will consistently know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her brand, a thought that will surely come as a reassurance: you are not obligated to. We don't have mandatory conscription anymore, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are consumed by jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a royal or a office worker, few children completely grasps the dedication and labor their mother expends in December. So you can take heart by envisioning her children's faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, in place of a sweet treat.
