Jingle Jam is on its way with various fun activities for students to de-stress and have fun with friends before finals week.

Jingle Jam is an annual event to celebrate the winter season and the end of the semester. Like Fall Fest, it gives students a chance to unwind with friends and participate in games, crafts and more.

The Student Programming Board (SPB) organizes the event with the help of many club volunteers. SPB co-vice presidents Lindsay Keiser, a senior ACS chemistry major, and Angelina Coleianne, a senior global studies and political science dual major, are leading the event planning.

“I always enjoy that it’s a bigger event and a lot of students come to it,” Keiser said.

This year, Jingle Jam will be Grinch-themed, with many Grinch-like decorations. There will even be a live Grinch for people to take photos with.

“I’m so excited to see it all put together and the decorations,” Coleianne said. “It will be really fun to see the sports center just decked out in Grinch-themed stuff.”

There will be a variety of activities including DIY winter crafts, cookie decorating, live Rocket League, food trucks, karaoke, holiday movie trivia and a snowball/dodgeball tournament. Students interested in the tournament can sign up for their team on Redbook. For each activity students participate in, they will be entered into a raffle for some big prizes.

Jingle Jam will take place Friday, Dec. 8, at 8 p.m. in the Arnold Sports Center arena. For more information about Jingle Jam, follow the SPB Instagram @spb.lvc or look for the Jingle Jam posters around campus.
