Admittedly, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the time of year, it's perpetually fair game for criticism on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's initial installments apart. The prevailing view held that a greater royal outrage had never been witnessed than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback once again with a "Festive Special" (also known as a Christmas special). However on this occasion, it's different. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but set of a holiday show, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan is like the quirky relative at most festive family gatherings – providing random tips, and contributing the odd random outburst. ("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 unexpectedly soothing. And she looks happy enough; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She understands her every micro expression, utterance and glance will be dissected and judged, but still appears carefree and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. The reason is, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is delightful. Yes, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and over the top – but doesn't that represent exactly what Christmas is all about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be shop-bought.

Whatever she sets her mind to, she pulls off with style. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the wreath she creates is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to tear into. Not a single thing is average or ugly – even the way she secures her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she creases wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be charmed, filled with festive joy and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the intensity of examination she has weathered ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even tone down her routine, even though it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will be like this, whatever happens. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a point that will certainly come as a comfort: you don't have to. We don't have the draft in this country, and if there were, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are gripped with longing about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. If you are a royal or a data administrator, few children truly appreciates the dedication and labor their mother puts in in the holiday season. So you can take heart by envisioning Archie and Lilibet's faces when they reveal a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
