Admittedly, it's Full of Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's earlier episodes apart. The common opinion held that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (aka a yuletide episode). But this time, it's different. The familiar ingredients we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – are still present, but set of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

At this stage, Meghan is like the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing unasked-for guidance, and delivering 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 an interesting figure, but her aura is known and strangely comforting. And she looks content; she's not doing the slightest hurt.

She understands her each tiny facial movement, syllable and look will be dissected and criticised, but manages to seem unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. The reason is, in all honesty, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is delightful. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent exactly what Yuletide is about? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the life she leads appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with style. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the wreath she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to tear into. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – even the way she ties her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't bung a dish in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she folds gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself the entire time. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, filled with festive joy and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the likeness of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the intensity of attention she has weathered ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this authentically. Her decision to change or even tone down her shtick, even though it being so constantly, widely parodied, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a reminder that will surely come as a relief: you don't have to. The UK has abolished the draft in this country, and if there were, it would be improbable to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you choose to watch and are consumed by jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a duchess or a everyday person, no kid fully understands the time and energy their mum expends in December. So you can console yourself by envisioning her children's faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a sweet treat.
