Actor-comedian Kevin Hart sent 300 children on a $100 shopping spree as part of Christmas festivities.

The 36-year-old teamed up with basketball played Chris Paul for their second annual Holiday Takeover event at a branch of retailer brand Target here, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The children invited to take part were from several youth organisations, including the Brotherhood Crusade and the Boys & Girls Club.

Paul posted a photograph of himself and Hart on Twitter in which the duo can be seen posing with the children.

`Just surprised 300 kids with holiday gifts - on to the next location for 300 more! #ChrisAndKevinHolidayTakeover,` he wrote alongside the image.
