As the nights get darker and your heating bills skyrocket, you may be thinking of those less fortunate than yourself this holiday season. If you want to give back to a particularly worthwhile cause, Yogscast's Jingle Jam 2022 has everything a generous gamer needs to do some good this winter while enjoying the benefits of great new games.
If you've been working on the best PC games and need a bundle to play this Christmas, you should tune in to Jungle Jam streams. From December 1-14, streamers will come together to spread the word about this year's Jingle Jam(Opens in a new tab).
The annual charity event is one of the biggest in gaming and aims to raise money for HDYES (opens in a new tab) - Huntington's Disease Youth Engagement Services.
For just €42 / €35 / AU$63, you'll receive a Steam key to download, play and keep over 85 games. That's a lot of partying for your money.
We can't believe this. In the first seven hours of #JingleJam2022, we raised €1,000,000 for our twelve charities. Thanks. You all are amazing ❤️ pic.twitter.com/GopUPTtdSd December 1, 2022

Santa's little helpers
Jingle Jam began over a decade ago in 2011, when two members of the popular YouTube gaming channel The Yogscast asked their subscribers to donate to charity instead of giving them gifts for Christmas.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, earning over €100,000 / £81,516 / AU$146,666, and has since become one of the most heartwarming Christmas traditions.
Your money could also go to one of the following equally important charities:
- British Red Cross
- Campaign Against Living in Misery (CALM)
- dogs for autism
- Huntingdon's Disease Association
- children's landscape
- mermaids
- Movember
- restore sanity
- Special effects
- Special Olympics Great Britain
- The great call of Wallace and Gromit
- Whale and Dolphin Conservation

Among the choice offerings is particularly the current Plague Inc: Evolved. A PC version of the popular mobile game that has proven eerily prescient, you'll create a deadly disease with the goal of wiping out humanity entirely, turning them into zombies or vampires, or enslaving them to worship a strange neurological parasite, the earthworm. .
I hope you've been paying attention to public health news because you really have no excuse for not being a pathogenic genius right now.
If you're looking for something a little lighter and sillier, or if you're just a huge Stray fan, Ato might be for you. In this cute but deadly platformer gem, you play as a sword-wielding kitty who is well-versed in the arts of the samurai. Pixelated graphics and side scrolling galore, it's both original and exciting. I wish our red tabby had swords at his disposal.
Whatever your tastes, there might be something for you in Jingle Jam's megabag of games.
