Ariana Grande is giving back this holiday season.
Manchester Foundation Trust Charity shared on Instagram on Monday, December 23rd that Wicked star made a generous donation to children across Manchester’s network of hospitals.
“Thank you @arianagrande! ✨✨✨,” the charity wrote online. “We are so grateful to Ariana for thinking of our young patients this Christmas.”
“The gifts she donated are being shared with babies, children and teenagers across the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, Trafford General Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital. @mftnhs.”

The Instagram post featured images of patients receiving brightly wrapped gifts and adults sharing them. Grande, 31, previously donated gifts to the hospital system in 2022.
The “thank u, next” singer has remained linked to Manchester since the May 2017 suicide bombing after one of her concerts during her Dangerous Woman tour. 22 people died in the tragedy, and hundreds were injured, reports CNN.

Embracing the holiday spirit in more ways than one, Grande also released a live performance of her Christmas pop hit “Santa Tell Me” on Dec. 23 as part of a series promoting her Eternal Sun album.
“Celebrating ten years of Santa Claus Tell me!” Grande wrote on her Instagram stories alongside a clip that dropped on YouTube. “Thank you so much for all the love you’ve shown this record over the past decade. We wish you all a happy and blessed holiday!”
On the same day, the song reached Billboard Top 10 Hot 100 at #9 for the first time since its release in November 2014.
Grande doesn’t often perform a festive hit live. When the song was first released, she sang it at multiple events in 2014, including Jingle Ball Z100 and Disney Parks Frozen Christmas celebration.
