Mari Lwyd's Pantri Panic!
It's Christmas Eve in the valleys of South Wales again, and after a long night of raiding villagers houses for food, Mari Lwyd returns home to find her pantrys too small, and her Mini-Maris are hungry!
Create lines of Christmas treats to keep your Pantry tidy, your Mini-Maris fed, and your kitchen from overflowing with food!

Happy Holidays! Arranging all the different Christmas dishes was so much fun! The music was really addictive and kept getting stuck in my head, and I loved learning more about Mari Lwyd too!
Thank you so much for the video! I love it!
Glad you liked the music, it's a Welsh Christmas song called "Nadolig Llawen i chi gyd". So I cannot claim of inventing it! But I liked you singing along to.
I'm so happy you liked my game ❤️
