"Meet Jimbo, Balatro's newest mascot, and the perfect antidote to your 2026 New Year's resolutions"
For those who dread the monotony of a traditional wall calendar featuring their hometown, there's a new yearning companion - the Balatro charity wall calendar. The game's star, actor Ben Starr, brings his A-game as Jimbo, donning an array of outlandish outfits, from Santa Claus to vampire, all in the name of fundraising for Extra Life and SpecialEffect.
The calendar boasts 12 months of Jimbo's antics, each more bizarre than the last. Baseball gear and ice cream cone in hand, the mascot even sports a cleverly-placed banana, paying homage to the game's iconic banana cards. The result is both silly and endearingly weird - just like a child's Christmas stocking.
What started as a promotional stunt for the game has evolved into a charitable endeavor, with all profits from sales going towards supporting local children's hospitals through Extra Life, and SpecialEffect, which helps physically disabled gamers enjoy their favorite games. For $19 or €20, you can get your hands on this unique calendar, which promises to bring a much-needed dose of levity to your 2026 calendar.
In short, if you're tired of the same old routine and yearn for something that will make you smile in the dead of January, the Balatro charity wall calendar is an irresistible choice.

A mascot on a calendar sounds like just what I need to spice up my new year. And supporting some awesome charities too? Win-win! 
The designs look pretty wild and hilarious - I'm definitely going to get one, especially the banana card pic 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to look at a guy in Santa suit and vampire gear every month? 
I mean like what's up with this Jimbo dude tho? I get it, he's trying to bring some cheer and stuff but at first glance he just seems like a weirdo mascot that would give me nightmares 
.
Can't wait to see what kind of crazy outfits Jimbo's gonna rock in 2026!

) and turned it into a fundraising machine! And who doesn't need a dose of silliness in their new year? Plus, supporting local kids' hospitals is pretty cool. Can you imagine having Ben Starr's goofy self on your wall every month? I'd be like the coolest uncle ever, but without the whole "being an actual uncle" thing 
It's like a fun party favor or something! If you're into that sorta thing, go for it, I guess. 
!
. So, go ahead and get yourself one of these calendars, not just for the laughs, but as a reminder that even small actions can add up to make a big difference 
.
. And the fact that it's all about fundraisin' for some amazing causes? That's just the icing on the cake, fam 
. The fact that the profits are going straight to the kids is what matters most – no fancy marketing gimmicks needed 
. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good banana surprise? 
. Like we really need a cartoon character promoting a gaming charity, it's just another way for companies to cash in on our emotions. And $19? Are they kidding me? It's just a calendar with some dude in weird outfits... I mean, if I wanted to donate to kids' hospitals, I'd just give them money directly 
... like who needs more clutter in their life? and $19 or €20 for some lame mascot's antics? that's just gonna end up collecting dust on your shelf after 2 weeks 
... and it's all for charity, but honestly, can't they just donate the money to the hospitals directly instead of selling overpriced merchandise? 
, but honestly, what I love most about this calender is that it's not just a bunch of silly pics, it's actually for a good cause 
. I mean, who doesn't want to support Extra Life and SpecialEffect? They're doing some amazing work, and if this calender can bring in some funds, then all the better 
... I need more Jimbo in my life!
but jimbo's antics might just be the pick-me-up i need btw ben starr is literally adorable 
and i love how they're supporting those awesome charities 
. Also, consider adding a visual element to the calendar itself - maybe a series of 12 full-page spreads with Jimbo in all his outfits? It would be a great way to break up the text and make it more engaging for readers
