Indeed, it's Packed with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the season, it's constantly open season for commentary 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 lifestyle show's first and second seasons to shreds. The prevailing view seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she has returned once again with a "Festive Special" (or a Christmas special). Yet now, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients we've come to expect – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but framed of a holiday show, it all clicks into place. The elements have slid together; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 quite a personality, but her presence is familiar and unexpectedly soothing. And she seems happy enough; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and glance will be analyzed and criticised, but still appears unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. Because, let's face it, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Granted, it's all cringily ultra-extra, foolishness and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent precisely what Christmas is about? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the life she leads seems authentically impeccably styled.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she executes with panache. Her culinary efforts looks scrumptious, the wreath she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are practically too exquisite to tear into. Not a single thing is mediocre or visually unappealing – even the way she fastens her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she folds wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where greens is organized in the shape of a festive circle?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the intensity of examination she has endured from the moment she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this naturally. Her unwillingness to modify or even tone down her routine, regardless of it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a point that will certainly come as a relief: you are not obligated to. We don't have national service anymore, 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 consumed by longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, hardly any child truly appreciates the effort and hard work their mum puts in in December. So you can find comfort by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a candy.
