Admittedly, it's Full of Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. But I Do Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the time of year, it's always open season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the program's first and second seasons to pieces. The general consensus was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (or a yuletide episode). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The familiar ingredients we've come to expect – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but set of a yuletide episode, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – offering unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 quite a personality, but her presence is familiar and strangely comforting. And she seems content; she's not doing any harm.

She knows her every micro expression, word and gaze will be dissected and scrutinized, but manages to seem unburdened and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the first occasion in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. Because, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Granted, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and over the top – but is that not exactly what Christmas is about? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the example she sets appears to be impeccably styled.

Anything she sets her mind to, she pulls off with flair. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the festive decoration she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are almost too pretty to open. Nothing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she ties her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a meal in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she folds wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the form of a festive circle?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but despite that, after the degree of scrutiny she has endured ever since she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her unwillingness to alter or even moderate her routine, regardless of it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will always know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a reminder that will surely come as a relief: you aren't required to. There isn't the draft in this country, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are overcome with jealousy about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a duchess or a data administrator, no kid fully understands the dedication and labor their parent expends in the holiday season. So you can take heart by envisioning the young royals' faces when they unfold a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a sweet treat.
