Discord Snowsgiving

If you haven’t heard of Snowsgiving before, it’s the time of year where the Discord community from all reaches of the planet are brought together in a single server through the holiday spirit. We make new friends within the Snowsgiving server, run a massive amount of contests and giveaways, and give back by supporting a charitable organization that works to make the world a better place.

In other words, Snowsgiving is an annual event that starts in December. They host contests, giveaways, and they always donate to charitable organizations every year.

## Snowsgiving 2022

This year, Discord decided to support the Crisis Text Line, a not-for-profit organization providing free mental health texting service through confidential crisis intervention via SMS message. They created a Snowsgiving bot that gives daily quests throughout the event to unlock rewards exclusive to Nitro subscribers. They released exclusive Snowsgiving merch, as they did last year, with all proceeds going to the charity partner. The Discord client got a winter-themed overhaul, replacing some visuals and sound effects. Unlike previous years, there wasn't an official Snowsgiving Discord server; however there were events and contests held on the official Discord Town Hall server. The main event lasted from December 5th to December 12th and the winter theme was active until January 3rd.
