The Young and the Restless star Michelle Stafford, along with castmates Nathan Owens, Sean Dominic, Christian LeBlanc, Billy Flynn, and Melissa Claire Egan, took time out of their busy schedules to help donate some toys for children just in time for the holidays.

The Young and the Restless, It's a Wonderful Life!

Stafford shared on Instagram images of herself and Y&R pals gathering together to put together toys for children this holiday season. The Daytime Emmy winner got in the festive spirit by wearing a top that said "Santa Baby" in red on it!

“Each man’s life touches so many other lives," Stafford wrote on her post, quoting George Bailey, the Jimmy Stewart character in the holiday classic movie, It's A Wonderful Life.

Per the actress's hashtags on her post, the toy donations were a joint effort by Y&R actors, the @naacp and the @nationalactionnetwork along with @walmart and @salarmysocal and @berrics.

As you can hear in the post above, Stafford set the photos and videos in her Instagram report to Michael Buble's "Holly Jolly Christmas."

In one of the images in the slide show, you can see Sean Dominic (who plays Nate), Melissa Claire Egan (who plays Chelsea), Nathan Owens (who plays Holden), Christian LeBlanc (who plays Michael), and Stafford, who plays Phyllis, holding up gifts for kids. At one point, Billy Flynn (Cane) joins in on the festivities, too!

Among the items shown are a basketball dual hoop, a tri-cycle, and some dolls! In another image, you can see Owens carrying boxes of sneakers to be donated.

"My cast is the best," enthuses Y&R costume designer, Mandi Line. Adds @Lauraemerson17: "I love all the caring and compassionate hearts of this group."

While Stafford and her co-stars from The Young and the Restless are donating their time and efforts to make the holidays happier for families, Phyllis has been working overtime to look out for herself in Genoa City.

Earlier this year, she moved heaven and earth to ally herself with Aristotle Dumas, the enigmatic businessman, who turned out to be Cane Ashby! She swiped his Artificial Intelligence software and has made a deal with the "devil" AKA Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). Stay tuned to see what happens next!
