This holiday season, Chris Young will team up with Toys for Tots to collect gifts for disadvantaged children. He'll be playing Santa on his upcoming fall and winter tour stops.

Toys for Tots is run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve to provide happiness and hope to disadvantaged children during the holiday season. In partnership with the charitable organization, Young will collect donations along his I’m Comin’ Over Tour stops from Nov. 17 – Dec. 10. Those attending one of these shows are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy or book. Gifts will later be distributed to less fortunate children in the local community.

"My sister and brother-in-law both served in the United States Marines Corps so I’m excited to join up with Toys for Tots and help share the Christmas spirit with kids in the cities along my tour," Young explains in a press release.

Young's first-ever Christmas album, It Must Be Christmas, will be available on Friday (Oct. 14). The album includes features by Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley and Boyz II Men.
