Christmas came early for a few children who received visits from some of their favorite ABC Family stars.
Pretty Little Liars‘ Ian Harding, Baby Daddy stars Tahj Mowry and Melissa Peterman, and Young & Hungry‘s Jonathan Sadowski paid a visit to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to share the holiday spirit with staff and young patients. True to the holiday spirit, they came with gifts for the children, who happily posed for photos with the actors.
The surprise was part of ABC Family’s Pop Up Santa initiative, which sees the network team with sponsors for a series of heartwarming events around the country.
At the end of the event, the stars presented the hospital with a $10,000 check.
The kids at the hospital also recently received a visit from Star Wars icon Mark Hamill, who brought along pals, including R2-D2 and a group of stormtroopers.
Footage from the TV stars’ holiday surprise will air during ABC Family’s run of Elf Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. ET, which is part of the network’s 25 Days of Christmas programming.
