The Harris family went above and beyond this holiday season. Instead of handing out a few toys and donating a few turkeys, they put on a mini Broadway production for Atlanta children! T.I., Tiny and their kids dressed up like Shrek characters to spread holiday cheer.

Before the K.I.N.G. Foundation handed out toys and clothes to needy kids, T.I. and his entire family acted out a play created by T.I.’s 11-year-old son, Messai — who is also responsible for the costume idea, according to Sandra Rose.

T.I. and Tiny are the latest celebs to give back this season. Over the weekend at the L.A. Regional Food Bank, Nick Cannon packed 10,000 pounds of food for needy families, while Diggy Simmons visited New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital to hand out gift bags and sign posters.

What are you doing to give back this holiday season?
