Christmas Livestreams

The Yogscast Christmas Livestreams are a series of Livestream videos that are shown, live, over the course of December (and early January) every year.

2011
The Christmas livestreams first began in 2011, when Lewis, Simon, Duncan and Sips streamed a number of games, such as Anno 2070, OpenTTD and X-COM: UFO Defence. During this time, Sips became more popular and eventually began making his own videos on his channel YogscastSips. Within a month, Sips had amassed a total of 28,000 subscribers, much to Simon and Lewis' surprise. On the BlueXephos channel there was also a series of daily "calendar videos" to accompany the streams, all for the Christmas holidays.

2012
Rumours that the livestreams would be returning in Christmas 2012 had been circulating amongst the Yogscast community for months, until late November, when it was revealed, via Facebook and Twitter, that the streams would certainly be returning. On 1st December, Simon and Lewis put out an official announcement video on the BlueXephos channel.
