Admittedly, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the time of year, it's perpetually hunting season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's first and second seasons apart. The prevailing view held that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Now, like a merry renegade master, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (or a yuletide episode). Yet now, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but framed of a yuletide episode, it all clicks into place. The elements have slid together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

Now, Meghan has become the eccentric aunt at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing unasked-for guidance, 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 a bit of a character, but her aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she seems content; she's causing a bit of damage.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, syllable and glance will be analyzed and scrutinized, but still appears carefree and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. Because, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, silliness and over the top – but doesn't that represent precisely what Yuletide is for? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the example she sets seems authentically beautifully curated.

Anything she attempts, she pulls off with style. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the festive decoration she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are almost too pretty to open. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – including the way she ties her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a meal in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she creases wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be completely savoring herself the entire time. How could any cynical observer not be charmed, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where greens is organized in the form of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, naturally, but despite that, after the intensity of scrutiny she has faced since she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this naturally. Her refusal to modify or even moderate her routine, despite it being so persistently, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will always know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying her brand, a thought that will certainly come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. There isn't mandatory conscription these days, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you choose to watch and are gripped with jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. Whether you're a royal or a office worker, hardly any child truly appreciates the dedication and labor their parent does in December. So you can console yourself by picturing the young royals' faces when they unfold a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a sweet treat.
