Yes, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the season, it's always hunting season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to pieces. The common opinion seemed to be a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the notorious pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she has returned for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (or a Christmas special). But this time, it's different. The usual elements we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but framed of a holiday show, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come into place; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan is like the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, 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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she looks content; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, utterance and glance will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. The reason is, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is lovely. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent just what Christmas is about? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks impeccably styled.

Anything she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with panache. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the festive decoration she creates is stunning, her gifts are practically too exquisite to unwrap. 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 oven, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, overcome by holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is arranged in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the intensity of examination she has faced from the moment she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her decision to alter or even moderate her routine, even though it being so persistently, globally mocked, is strangely reassuring. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her brand, a thought that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you don't have to. There isn't national service in this country, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are gripped with jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a duchess or a office worker, few children fully understands the effort and hard work their mum does in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by imagining the young royals' faces when they reveal a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
