YouTube creator Seán “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin’s annual charity event Thankmas is returning after a pause in 2025. Multiple outlets report that the initiative expands into a longer campaign dubbed “Wishmas,” partnering with Make-A-Wish to support children with critical illnesses. The new effort runs for about six months, building toward a Thankmas livestream on YouTube scheduled for Dec. 5.
Variety describes the overarching campaign as targeting a $3 million fundraising goal, with creators and the broader online community participating throughout the run-up period. PR Newswire similarly announces the partnership and frames the project as a community-led fundraising campaign intended to help Make-A-Wish grant “life-changing wishes” for children facing critical illnesses.
While both accounts focus on the event’s structure—an extended fundraising window culminating in a December livestream—and the Make-A-Wish partnership, they differ mainly in the level of detail provided about timing and the stated financial target. Both sources present the campaign as a return and an expansion of Thankmas for this year.
