Jingle Jam unites the world's best games, creators, and their communities for two weeks of entertainment that power a lifetime of change.
From 1-14 December, hundreds of creators and gamers across the world stream, create content, and beyond to fundraise for Jingle Jam's partnered charities and their vital projects: from protecting whales, dolphins, and the rainforest, to funding cancer research, suicide prevention, and more.
Jingle Jam is supported by diverse communities of fundraisers from all over the world, and
participation is open to any creators who want to take part. Registered fundraisers unlock the Jingle Jam Games Collection, a selection of games which donors receive when they give £35 or more.
In previous years, participating creators have reported that by offering their supporters the famous Jingle Jam Games Collection as a reward during Jingle Jam streams, they have raised double compared to other fundraising streams they’ve hosted.
Details of the 2024 Jingle Jam Games Collection are still under wraps, but rumour has it this year marks a brand-new approach…
