'Tis the season and it seems as though every celebrity has a little bit of extra holiday spirit this year, Beyoncé included. The "Drunk in Love" singer recently hit up a Walmart to give back to some fans.

As her self-titled album hit the Walmart shelves, Beyoncé decided to stop by one of the stores and do some shopping. Bey surprised fans at a local store in Tewksbury, MA before heading to TD Garden in Boston as a part of her "Mrs. Carter World Tour."

During her shopping trip, Bey picked up a copy of her album and a gift for Blue Ivy. When it came time for Bey to check out, she had a special announcement for shoppers:

"Attention Walmart shoppers, the first $50 of your holiday gifts are on me."

Imagine their surprise!

750 customers were given Walmart gift cards in the amount of $50, leaving Bey to pick up the tab of $37,500.

Each gift card was packaged in envelopes that read "Happy Holidays from Beyoncé."

Walmart tweeted out their appreciation for Beyoncé saying:

"Thanks for stopping by, Beyoncé. We love your new album!"

Beyoncé is among various celebrities like Drake and Tyga who have been using their celebrity for a good cause this holiday season.

Drake recently vowed to build a recording studio at Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion High School and made a cash donation to a homeless shelter in Portland.

Tyga stopped by the Children's Center for Cancer & Blood Diseases at Children's Hospital Los Angeles to visit his young fans and help one in particular find a kidney donor.
