Huge heart, just so compassionate and sweet. Not super outgoing, so this was way outside his comfort zone, which was really cool," Mitchell said. "Everyone was just like full of joy, like, 'Santa' and all happy. It was just so great to see everyone overjoyed," Jack said. They handed out classic gifts like slinkys and yo-yos.
