That was a beautiful puzzle! I started off by pencil marking both thermos and got further much faster. I then stared at it a while until I saw stuff happening in collumn 5, then finished smoothly.
So a few things first off: I used the regular link as my scanning goes horribly wrong when using the festive digits, and I DID see a bit of the solve ahead of time, though wasn't paying too much attention (live recording). That being said, I found outside of one remembering on one specific cell (which I still needed to verify myself), I found myself taking a relatively different path through the solve, surprisingly! In the end, finished in 17:42 (conflict checker off), many thanks to Evan for a really lovely puzzle and to BremSter for presenting it!
Nice ending to 2024, done in 12:58 HNY! @23:40 you can ask where 2-3 goes in box 3 + pencil mark the rest of row 9, r9c9=2-3, which makes the dot in box 3 1-2 or 3-4 & that gives a quad in row 2 & you can place the 6 in box 3, etc ...

Happy New Year Bremster! I like the snowball font. Must feel weird using that font during summer Down Under.

Nice. Last few cells took some thinking abut. 29 mins. I did a bit more Goodlifing, and that helped a lot.
