Yes, it's Full of Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No considering the season, it's perpetually hunting season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when enthusiastically shredding 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.

Currently, like a merry renegade master, she has returned for another round with a "Festive Special" (aka a yuletide episode). But this time, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, overzealous entertaining – persist, but set of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan has become the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing 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 aura is known and strangely comforting. And she appears pleased; she's not doing a bit of damage.

She knows her every micro expression, syllable and gaze will be dissected and criticised, but manages to seem relaxed and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. Because, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Admittedly, it's all cringily ultra-extra, nonsense and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent exactly what the holiday season is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the walk she's walking seems authentically beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with style. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she makes is gorgeous, her gifts are practically too exquisite to tear into. Not a single thing is average or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she ties her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't toss a meal in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she creases gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is arranged in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but despite that, after the level of examination she has weathered ever since she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her decision to modify or even moderate her routine, despite it being so constantly, globally mocked, is strangely reassuring. In our volatile world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, come what may. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a thought that will certainly come as a relief: you are not obligated to. We don't have the draft anymore, and were it to return, it would be improbable to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are overcome with longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. If you are a royal or a everyday person, no kid completely grasps the time and energy their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by imagining her children's faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a chocolate.
