Holiday cheer is in the air around the Bay Area.
Maliek Collins, in his first season with the 49ers, surprised local families with money for groceries while holiday shopping.
A video of the heartwarming exchanges was shared by the 49ers on social media.
One of the first families in the video shows Collins approaching a woman, who originally looked confused by the generous gesture before following up with a big hug.

Collins also spread his fortune with a local street vendor outside the store on the chilly Bay Area night.
