This festive celebration is packed with holiday magic, featuring messages from Bunglers all over the world, classic style commercials, and a few joyful surprises along the way!To make it even more memorable our dear friend and cohost Zack even flew in to bake his very own Snarf inspired candy fruit pie, bringing plenty of cheer and just a bit of kitchen chaos to the Cats’ Lair.David treats us to a special reading of the second edition of “’Twas the Night Before Third Earth Christmas,” adding a cozy holiday tradition to the episode. We also curl up for a classic comic read as we dive into ThunderCats UK comic issue #41 from 1987, the story “Footprints.” In this chilling Rammastide tale, Cat’s Lair lies directly in the path of a mysterious and terrifying creature known as the Metokangmi!

Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Optionally, add a few drops of green food dye.Preheat oven to 375ºF.Roll out one pie crust and lay into a 9" pie dish. It should hang over the edge some. Lay in filling and accumulated fruity liquid to a level height.Roll out the second pie crust (optionally adding pink or red food dye) and slice into 14–16 strips of even width, about 1/2".Lay the strips in a grid on top of the pie, lifting every other strip as you go, over–under, to form a woven lattice. BONUS: Skewing your grid at 45 degrees to form diamonds instead of squares makes for a fancier looking lattice!Cut off any strip excess that's hanging over the edge of the dish and then fold the bottom crust up over the strips, crimping them together all the way around.Place pea-sized cubes of unsalted butter at every lattice intersection and then sprinkle additional sugar along the lines of the lattice.Tent the rim of the dish with foil to protect the crust (don't fully cover it; aim for somewhere between a lampshade and a yurt) and bake for 35 minutes.Remove or untent the foil and continue baking for another 30–40 minutes. The pie is done when the crust has browned and, crucially, the filling is visibly bubbling all over, like Mumm-Ra's cauldron. Overdone will look way too brown and underdone won't be bubbling everywhere.Remove and rest at room temperature for at least an hour before serving.Happy Rammastide!Please Like 👍 Comment 📝 and Subscribe ✔️ to support the channel!⁠⁠⁠THUNDERCATS INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⁠⚡️For Business Inquiries Email: Ryanhunterstudios@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
