Indeed, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Holiday Special.

No matter the time of year, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when gleefully ripping the series' initial installments to pieces. The prevailing view held that a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (aka a yuletide episode). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The standard components audiences anticipate – psychobabble word salads, intense hospitality – remain, but framed of a yuletide episode, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and delivering the periodic peculiar declaration. ("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 knows her each tiny facial movement, word and gaze will be analyzed and judged, but still appears unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. Since, in all honesty, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Granted, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and extravagant – but isn't that exactly what Christmas is all about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the example she sets seems authentically shop-bought.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with panache. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the festive decoration she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to tear into. Not a single thing is mediocre or ugly – even the way she fastens her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be completely savoring herself the entire time. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, overcome by holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is organized in the likeness of a festive circle?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, of course, but even so, after the level of examination she has weathered from the moment she met Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her unwillingness to modify or even tone down her routine, even though it being so persistently, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a reassurance: you are not obligated to. There isn't mandatory conscription these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are gripped with longing about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a duchess or a office worker, hardly any child fully understands the time and energy their parent expends in the holiday season. So you can take heart by imagining the young royals' faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a chocolate.
