Apologies everyone! The Coffee Milk was discovered to be non-unique. Thanks to @Rowan and @Lorem for spotting the error. Here's a backup puzzle for today's ✨ Supersized Saturday ✨ -- a Square Jam!

While we're in an adventy mood, let's shout out a different advent calendar. The World Puzzle Federation Facebook page is also doing an advent calendar, where each day is a different puzzle from the WPC archive. Check them out here: https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064903771506
