Legendary actor Arnold Schwarzenegger stunned fans on Dec. 13 as he shared a video of this year's edition of a decades-long holiday tradition: participating in the Miracle on 1st Street toy giveaway at the Hollenbeck Youth Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
Schwarzenegger, in partnership with the USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy, celebrated the Dec. 13 event on Instagram. In a video, Schwarzenegger looked giddy as he handed out gifts and made guests at the event laugh and smile.
At one point, he gave a young boy a shark toy and a little car before sweetly patting him on the head. Schwarzenegger wore a casual yet festive outfit to the toy giveaway, rocking dark pants and a button-up shirt with a picture of Santa Claus over an American flag.
The Terminator star wrote in the caption, "My three decade tradition - donating toys and playing Santa at @hollenbeckyouthcenter. The giving feels so much better than the gifts at Christmas."
"This holiday season, you all have a great opportunity to add a little light to someone's life. Whether it's donating toys or food or just showing kindness, use your power," he concluded, encouraging others to follow in his footsteps.
