Honeydew Honey Drive

The 2012 Christmas Livestreams, also nicknamed Honeydew's Honey Drive, were the second annual charity livestreams. On November 30, 2012, it was revealed via social media that the streams would be returning. On December 1, 2012, Simon and Lewis put out an official announcement video on the BlueXephos channel confirming the return of the livestreams. The livestreams started everyday at 6:00 pm GMT.

The aim of this year's livestreams was to support Oxfam with two projects: 'Plan Bee', which provides training and workshops for the manufacture of modern beekeeping equipment for Ethiopian families, and the '365 Emergency Fund', a project dedicated to a relief effort aiding emergency situations worldwide. The money was split between each project where the first £10,000 went to 'Plan Bee', and the remaining to '365 Emergency Fund'.

Donations were received via JustGiving. In addition to donations, all Twitch.tv revenue from advertising and subscriptions, and revenue earned from the 2012 Christmas album, Yogscast Christmas 2012, was donated to the drive as well. The Yogscast were again nominated for JustGiving's Most Popular Fundraiser of 2013, and received a Special Recognition Award at the JustGiving Awards ceremony.

On Christmas day, after surpassing the £60,000 goal, Simon & Lewis uploaded a video in which Santa introduced Lewis, who was wearing a sexy bee costume as promised.

Over the course of the 2012 livestreams, a total of £210,532.00 ($333,847.27[1]) was raised by 13,389 generous contributors.[2] A grand total of  £240,568.25[3] ($391,145.70) was donated including the Yogscast revenue and Gift Aid.
