Annual video game charity event Jingle Jam will help out a slew of charities this December.
Announced yesterday, the 12th annual Jingle Jam will take place from December 1 - December 14. A ton of events will be streamed live on Twitch. During the event, viewers who donate £35 ($47) or more will be able to grab the Jingle Jam Games Collection.

Since 2011, Jingle Jam has raised $25 million for various charities.
Lewis Brindley, co-founder of Jingle Jam and The Yogscast said this about the event:
“We always look forward to this time of year - it’s so great to see everyone pitching in to raise an incredible sum of money for some amazing causes. We have some fantastic projects this year and the money raised through the generosity of the gaming community will have a massive impact. We want 2022 to be the biggest year ever - and to do this we need to get even more people involved in streaming their own Jingle Jam streams during the first two weeks of December.”
