Yes, it's Packed with Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the season, it's always hunting season for commentary on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the program's earlier episodes apart. The prevailing view held that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back once again with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a Christmas special). But this time, things have shifted. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, overzealous entertaining – remain, but framed of a yuletide episode, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid together; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan resembles the quirky relative at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and contributing 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 an interesting figure, but her aura is known and strangely comforting. And she seems happy enough; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, word and gaze will be dissected and criticised, but nonetheless looks unburdened and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Since, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Yes, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and over the top – but is that not just what the holiday season is all about? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she attempts, she executes with flair. Her recipes looks tasty, the festive decoration she creates is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to tear into. Nothing is ordinary or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "has a moment", and she wraps wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a powerful yearning for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where broccoli is organized in the form of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but even so, after the degree of attention she has weathered ever since she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of acting royalty would struggle to act this authentically. Her decision to modify or even moderate her routine, even though it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is strangely reassuring. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will stay true to form, come what may. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a thought that will certainly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. There isn't mandatory conscription in this country, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you decide to tune in and are overcome with jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, no kid fully understands the effort and hard work their mother puts in in December. So you can console yourself by envisioning her children's faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, in place of a candy.
