Now in its 113th year, the appeal is hoping to raise $80,000 for Northern Tasmania's most vulnerable.
The appeal benefits four regional charity organisations - Launceston City Mission, The Salvation Army, The Benevolent Society and St Vincent de Paul - with last year's campaign raising $124,733.
Launceston Carols by Candlelight at Country Club Tasmania on Saturday, December 18 will be rattling tins in support, while people can also donate in person at The Examiner's office at Level 2 113 Cimitiere Street, at various Northern Tasmanian newsagents or via direct debit bank transfer.
