Admittedly, it's Full of Absurdity, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the time of year, it's always fair game for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's initial installments to pieces. The general consensus held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the now-infamous pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (also known as a yuletide episode). But this time, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – persist, but within the context of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan has become the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – providing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, 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 aura is known and unexpectedly soothing. And she looks content; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She understands her each tiny facial movement, utterance and glance will be analyzed and criticised, but still appears unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. Because, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Yes, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and over the top – but isn't that just what Christmas is for? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the example she sets seems authentically impeccably styled.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with flair. Her recipes looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she makes is stunning, her presents are almost too pretty to open. Not a single thing is average or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she secures her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she creases gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself the entire time. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the intensity of attention she has faced ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even moderate her routine, regardless of it being so constantly, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can count 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 what she's selling, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a relief: you aren't required to. There isn't national service in this country, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are gripped with envy about her flawless Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, hardly any child completely grasps the effort and hard work their parent expends in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing her children's faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, instead of a sweet treat.
