Admittedly, it's Full of Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. Yet I Truly Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the program's initial installments to pieces. The common opinion was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Festive Special" (or a yuletide episode). Yet now, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, overzealous entertaining – remain, but set of a yuletide episode, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

Now, Meghan resembles the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – offering unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and supplying 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 an interesting figure, but her presence is familiar and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears happy enough; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, syllable and gaze will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks unburdened and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. Because, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is charming. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and extravagant – but isn't that precisely what the holiday season is for? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the example she sets appears to be impeccably styled.

Anything she attempts, she executes with style. Her recipes looks delicious, the wreath she crafts is stunning, her presents are almost too pretty to open. Not a single thing is average or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a meal in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be won over, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the likeness of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has endured since she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her decision to alter or even soften her persona, regardless of it being so constantly, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a thought that will certainly come as a reassurance: you don't have to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription anymore, and if there were, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are gripped with envy about her idyllic Christmas, there is hope either. If you are a royal or a office worker, hardly any child completely grasps the effort and hard work their mother does in December. So you can take heart by picturing her children's faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a chocolate.
