Heroes star Hayden Panettiere was on hand for a very cool in-store event in San Gabriel, CA over the weekend where she, in her capacity as Candie’s spokesmodel, went Xmas shopping with a few lucky girls from the Children’s Hospital in a charity promo event at a Kohl’s department store. Here are a few pics from this weekend’s event:

Except for the absolutely frightening Mrs. Claus above, the event looked like it was a lot of fun. I’m sure the girls from the hospital really enjoyed their shopping spree with Hayden. I really love how big companies and celebs themselves really get into the spirit of giving around the holidays. I guess we all get a little more generous around this time of the year … but I think it’s a really cool thing when celebs participate in events like this. Kudos and love goes out to Hayden, Candie’s and Kohl’s for organizing such a fun event. It’s seeing events like these that really help restore my faith in the humanity of celebs. Sure, Hayden‘s not saving the world but I’m sure this Xmas will be an extra special one for these girls. Well done!

RE: “It’s seeing events like these that really help restore my faith in the humanity of celebs.” Couldn’t agree more!
Hayden rules the school – she’s a smart cookie, and very sweet, and really actually does care about other people and animals, too (she might not be saving the world, but she definitely tries to save the whales!). I hope she’s around for a good long time.
Maybe John Waters cast Mr. (and especially) Mrs. Claus! lmao
Couldn’t agree more, Trent. Hayden’s such a breath of fresh air and she’s an amazing role model, one of the few young women in Hollywood with their head on straight. It’s nice to see her giving up her time to spread some happiness :)
I love me some Hayden , the girl is one of those Hollywood “it” girls who I really like , she is pretty, young , talented and man she has one of the hottest bf in Hollywood :) the girl has it all lol
