Admittedly, it's Full of Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. But I Do Love Meghan's Christmas Special.

No considering the time of year, it's always fair game for criticism on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the program's first and second seasons to pieces. The general consensus held that a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel-bagging incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback once again with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a holiday episode). But this time, it's different. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – persist, but framed of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan is like the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 looks content; she's not doing any harm.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, word and gaze will be analyzed and judged, but manages to seem relaxed and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. The reason is, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and extravagant – but is that not just what Yuletide is about? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the example she sets genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she pulls off with flair. Her cooking looks delicious, the wreath she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are practically too exquisite to tear into. Not a single thing is ordinary or ugly – including the way she secures her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she folds gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, filled with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the form of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but nonetheless, after the level of examination she has endured ever since she met Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her unwillingness to change or even tone down her persona, despite it being so persistently, widely parodied, is strangely reassuring. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a point that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you don't have to. We don't have the draft these days, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are consumed by longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. Whether you're a royal or a office worker, few children truly appreciates the dedication and labor their mother puts in in the holiday season. So you can take heart by picturing her children's faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a candy.
