Tyler Perry just made the holiday season a lot brighter for some residents in Atlanta.
The producer played Santa to Walmart customers… by paying off their layaways!
TMZ reports Perry spent $178,000 at one store, and $256,000 at another.
He tried to do the good deed anonymously, but once word got out, he fessed up and posted a video on Twitter. Tyler let shoppers know the locations of the two stores and that they just needed to pay one penny to pick up their goods.
