Indeed, it's Packed with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly hunting season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have rarely been so united as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to pieces. The common opinion was that a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she has returned for another round with a "Christmas Special" (aka a yuletide episode). But this time, things have shifted. The usual elements we've come to expect – vague self-help platitudes, extreme hosting – remain, but framed of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan has become the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing unasked-for guidance, 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 quite a personality, but her company is customary and oddly reassuring. And she appears happy enough; she's causing any harm.

She knows her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be analyzed and criticised, but nonetheless looks relaxed 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" – could actually be true. The reason is, in all honesty, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and flamboyant – but is that not exactly what the holiday season is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the example she sets genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she attempts, she accomplishes with flair. Her cooking looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she creates is breathtaking, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Not a single thing is average or ugly – even the way she fastens her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she creases gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the shape of a festive circle?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but despite that, after the level of attention she has faced since she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this authentically. Her decision to alter or even tone down her routine, even though it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying her message, a reminder that will certainly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. There isn't national service in this country, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are overcome with longing about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a royal or a office worker, hardly any child truly appreciates the dedication and labor their mum expends in December. So you can find comfort by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a candy.
