Jingle Jam, the world’s biggest games charity event, is now live. The much-loved event kicks off two weeks of epic and emotional fundraising streams and sees the return of the annual Jingle Jam Games collection – a special collection of 56 games offered by a huge range of developers and publishers, which are offered as a reward for a charitable donation.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary with over $20m raised for charity prior to this year’s event, Jingle Jam has built up a huge following with warm and wholesome broadcasting over the festive season. Popular events have become yearly traditions for many.
The event is broadcast on twitch.tv/yogscast and hosted by members of the Yogscast and their friends and features some of the most popular creators on Twitch and YouTube. For the first time this year, any creator keen to join in with the Jingle Jam can set up their own fundraising streams, with their audiences also able to receive the games collection in return for donating to charity.
