Admittedly, it's Full of Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the time of year, it's perpetually fair game for commentary on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have rarely been so united as when gleefully ripping the program's first and second seasons apart. The common opinion held that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, like a merry renegade master, she is back once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a holiday episode). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements we've come to expect – meaningless jargon salads, overzealous entertaining – persist, but framed of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

Now, Meghan has become the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering 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 a bit of a character, but her aura is known and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears content; she's not doing a bit of damage.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, utterance and gaze will be analyzed and criticised, but nonetheless looks unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. Because, in all honesty, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and extravagant – but is that not exactly what Christmas is about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the walk she's walking seems authentically beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she accomplishes with style. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the holiday arrangement she makes is breathtaking, her gifts are practically too exquisite to open. Not a single thing is ordinary or ugly – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she folds wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, overcome by festive joy and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is arranged in the shape of a festive circle?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, naturally, but even so, after the intensity of scrutiny she has endured ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her decision to modify or even moderate her shtick, despite it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will remain herself, whatever happens. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her brand, a point that will certainly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. There isn't the draft anymore, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you choose to watch and are consumed by jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a duchess or a office worker, no kid fully understands the effort and hard work their mother does in December. So you can console yourself by imagining the young royals' faces when they reveal a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
