What is Christmas Jumper Day?

Christmas Jumper Day is one of Save the Children’s biggest annual fundraising events. It’s been going since 2012!

Every December we ask schools, workplaces, and community and friend groups to put on a Christmas jumper and donate whatever they can afford. And every year, millions of you join us in making the world better in a sweater.

By taking part this year you can help support kids and families who are having to deal with an increasingly volatile world. We’ll use the money raised on Christmas Jumper Day to help children in the UK and all around the world stay safe, healthy and learning – and change their future for good.

When is Christmas Jumper Day 2025?

The official date is 🗓️ Thursday 11 December 2025 🗓️ – but if another day works better for you, go for it!

When was the first Christmas Jumper Day?

The first Christmas Jumper Day was on 14 December 2012.

Since then, millions of people like you have put on their jazziest jumpers for one day in December, donated to Save the Children, and helped make things better for children in the UK and around the world.
