Annual charity gaming event Jingle Jam has opened fundraiser registration for 2026, with creators now able to sign up on Tiltify ahead of the event in December. Jingle Jam brings together games, content creators and their communities to raise money for charity. This year's event will run for two weeks, from December 1st to 14th.
According to a release, creators can register on Tiltify, an online fundraising platform, and set up their fundraising pages now. Jingle Jam raised £3.5m in 2025, which took its lifetime total past £31m. The organisation credited creators' fundraising efforts for that result.
Past participants have included The Spiffing Brit, RTGame, Smosh, hJune, Zentreya and The Yogscast. However, registration isn't limited to established names, and anyone can sign up on Tiltify to take part.
