To sign 'jingle,' hold your non-dominant hand in a closed fist in front of your chest, with the palm facing down. Place your dominant hand over the back of your non-dominant hand using an open 5-handshape, also with the palm facing down. Wiggle the fingers of your dominant hand while shaking it slightly to represent the vibrating, ringing motion of jingling bells.
To express this, start by signing 'hear' by tapping your ear. Then, sign 'jingle' using the wiggling finger motion over your fist, and finish by signing 'keys' to show exactly what is making that jingling sound.
Begin by signing 'cat' and pointing to or tracing a 'collar' around your neck. Then, use the sign for 'jingle' to describe the type of bell attached to it, emphasizing the wiggling fingers for the sound.
For the classic holiday song, you would sign 'we' and 'sing' first. Then, use the sign for 'jingle' followed by the standard sign for 'bell' to convey the title of the famous Christmas carol.

No, this sign specifically represents the physical sound or action of small bells or metal objects clinking together. If you are talking about a catchy tune from a commercial, it is better to use the signs for 'song' or 'music' combined with 'catchy' or 'advertisement'.
No, they are different. The standard sign for 'bell' typically involves striking the open palm of your non-dominant hand to mimic a clapper hitting the inside of a large bell. 'Jingle' uses wiggling fingers over a fist to show a continuous, shaking sound of multiple small bells.
It doesn't need to be squeezed tightly, but it should be a clearly closed fist (an S-handshape) facing downward. This provides a solid, stationary visual base that contrasts with the active, wiggling motion of your dominant hand, making the sign clear and easy to read.
