Yes, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. But I Do Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the season, it's always fair game for criticism on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's earlier episodes to pieces. The prevailing view seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Now, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a holiday episode). But this time, it's different. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – are still present, but set of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen together; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan has become the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – 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 a bit of a character, but her presence is familiar and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears pleased; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She knows her all subtle gestures, utterance and gaze will be dissected and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks carefree and too blessed to be stressed.

It could be this is the first occasion in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – may well be true. Since, in all honesty, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is lovely. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and over the top – but isn't that just what Christmas is all about? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the life she leads genuinely looks impeccably styled.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with style. Her culinary efforts looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she makes is stunning, her presents are practically too exquisite to unwrap. Not a single thing is ordinary or ugly – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she folds wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself the entire time. How could any hate-watcher not be won over, bursting with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the form of a festive circle?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but even so, after the intensity of examination she has weathered from the moment she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this naturally. Her unwillingness to modify or even moderate her shtick, despite it being so persistently, globally mocked, is strangely reassuring. In our volatile world, here is something we can depend on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a point that will certainly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription in this country, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are overcome with jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a royal or a data administrator, no kid completely grasps the dedication and labor their parent expends in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by imagining the young royals' faces when they unfold a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, instead of a chocolate.
