The 2011 Christmas Livestreams, also called the Yogscast Christmas Goat Giving Special, were the first annual charity livestreams, where Lewis, Simon, Duncan, Sips, and many others streamed a number of games over the course of December. The aim of the livestreams was to raise money for Oxfam's 'Give a Goat', where goats were sent to third-world nations in Africa to support families and villages. The broadcasts officially started at 7PM GMT and lasted around 6 hours. On the main channel, there was a series of daily "calendar videos" to accompany the streams.

Donations were handled through JustGiving. All revenue earned from Justin.tv (Now Twitch.tv) was donated as well. In March of 2012, The Yogscast was named JustGiving's Most Popular Fundraiser of 2012 for their work.[1]

The livestreams were broadcasted out of Hannah & Lewis' basement throughout the month.[2] Sips became more popular and eventually began making his own videos on his channel. By the end of December, Sips had amassed a total of 25,000 subscribers, much to Simon and Lewis' surprise.

Over the course of the 2011 Christmas livestreams, a total of £62,328.69 ($96,755.94[3]) was raised from 3,615 generous donations.[4] A grand total of £66,040.30 ($102,514.55) was donated including Yogscast revenue and Gift Aid.
