12 cages of Christmas
A Christmas gift for my brother that I thought I share as my first puzzle here.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in a cage may not repeat and sum to the digit in the top left corner. Digits separated by a Christmas light (Kropki Dot) are double each other. There are 12 killer cages 1 for each day of Christmas. No two killer cages contain the same set of digits.
Puzzle:
Happy Solving !!!
Solution code: Enter the digits in the 9th row read left to right without spaces.

Thanks for this fun colourful puzzle!
Response to PinkNickels: I am afraid you are right, but I think it is a disgusting development and shows very limited respect to all setters out here who make the portal possible in the first place. But the power here is unfortunately completely with the solvers, not the setters...

I update the solution code to just one row.

That's really neat how the 12 cages worked out like that. Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas Bropaganda and thank you for an amazing puzzle.
The unique 12 cage rule combined so nicley with the kropkies.
I gotta admit, the different colored dots kept me second guess whether I had read the rules correctly, but didn't take anything away from the puzzle itself.

Fun puzzle. Small tip. Most solvers will rate your puzzles lower if you require two rows or columns for the solution code instead of just one.
