Admittedly, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No considering the season, it's perpetually open season for criticism on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the program's first and second seasons apart. The common opinion held that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she is back for another round with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a yuletide episode). However on this occasion, things have shifted. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – are still present, but within the context of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The pieces have fallen together; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan has become the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing unasked-for guidance, and delivering 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 aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she appears content; she's not doing any harm.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and glance will be dissected and judged, but manages to seem relaxed and remarkably at ease.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. Because, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is charming. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and over the top – but is that not just what the holiday season is for? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she executes with flair. Her recipes looks delicious, the festive decoration she crafts is stunning, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or ugly – 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 wraps gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, filled with festive joy and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where greens is arranged in the form of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but despite that, after the degree of scrutiny she has weathered from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would struggle to act this authentically. Her refusal to modify or even moderate her persona, regardless of it being so constantly, widely parodied, is oddly heartening. In our volatile world, here is something we can depend 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 point that will certainly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. We don't have mandatory conscription these days, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are gripped with jealousy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a duchess or a data administrator, no kid completely grasps the dedication and labor their parent expends in December. So you can find comfort by envisioning the young royals' faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a candy.
