After going on pause in 2025, popular YouTube creator Seán “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin’s annual charity event Thankmas is returning this year as a six-month fundraiser for Make-A-Wish with a goal of $3 million.

Dubbed “Wishmas,” the overarching event (which will culminate in Jacksepticeye’s Thankmas livestream on YouTube on Dec. 5) is intended to give creators and fans “more time to make an impact for children with critical illnesses.”
