No one likes it when a holiday gets washed out. But when it leads to a new meta puzzle, that just goes to prove the truth in that old saying about clouds and silver linings. The answer to the meta is a song of the season. A doozy of an answer & explanation image here: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=189798#p189798
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

Instantly solved the meta at 16A, but needed a few reveals to complete the grid, especially over in the IBIS region Fun idea though, and well timed. :) Thanks.
I've asked Walter, Barry and Betty to send you "shout out" thanks. Fun gift puzzle for the season, probably be a lot of those. Have a wonderful holiday Ben.
By the way, how do you prepare bin chicken, I'm assuming with a white sauce?
