" Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale is getting into the holiday spirit by giving back. She joined the Power Holiday Smiles campaign, where Duracell is partnering with Toys for Tots through a Facebook sweepstakes. &amp;quot;You enter the sweepstakes to win toys for you, your family, and friends. Every time you enter, Duracell donates one battery to Toys for Tots to power up the toys that they&amp;#039;re giving away this holiday season,&amp;quot; Lucy tells Seventeen. She&amp;#039;s always been a fan of Toys for Tots and its mission. &amp;quot;I was lucky enough to grow up in a home where I&amp;#039;d wake up every Christmas morning and I&amp;#039;d have these really awesome toys. I know that there&amp;#039;s a lot of kids in America and around the world that aren&amp;#039;t in that position,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a really easy way for myself and everyone to give back. It takes two seconds and it&amp;#039;s just a great way to help out.&amp;quot; So what&amp;#039;s on Lucy&amp;#039;s Christmas list this year? &amp;quot;My mom is getting me a Vitamix,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if you know what a Vitamix is, but it&amp;#039;s like the best blender in the world. You know I&amp;#039;m growing up when I&amp;#039;m asking for kitchen appliances.&amp;quot; Since she&amp;#039;s been crazy-busy lately, the holidays haven&amp;#039;t been the first thing on her mind. &amp;quot;Christmas sort of snuck up on me this year,&amp;quot; she admits. &amp;quot;Usually I&amp;#039;m like a little elf and I&amp;#039;ve got everything wrapped and ready to go by October, but I&amp;#039;ve just been so busy this year. I haven&amp;#039;t had time to think about it.&amp;quot; Overall, Lucy knows the holidays are about much more than gifts anyway, saying, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sort of at the age now that Christmas is more about the experience of going home and spending time with family, whereas growing up it&amp;#039;s obviously about the presents.&amp;quot; Visit Duracell&amp;#039;s Facebook page to enter the Power Holiday Smiles sweepstakes and watch Lucy in new episodes of PLL starting Jan. 8!
