Chris Janson spread Christmas cheer at the Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee Christmas Parade this past weekend, as he teamed up with Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s to hand out rods and reels to kids during the proceedings.

Janson, who sponsors the Franklin High School (Tennessee) Fishing Team along with Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s, handed out the fishing equipment with students while riding on a boat as hit singles “Good Vibes” and “Buy Me A Boat” soundtracked the experience.

Chris said, “We had a great day in Leiper’s Fork, TN spreading Christmas cheer to kids. Thanks to Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s for donating the rods & reels, and thanks to the Franklin High fishing team for all their help in passing them out. Good Vibes and Christmas cheer!!”

He posted to Instagram that day, "Great day in Leipers Fork TN spreading Christmas cheer to kids. Thanks @bassproshops for donating the rod & reels. Good vibes & Christmas cheer!! Merry Christmas! Thanks Franklin High fishing team for all your help passing them out! #FHS #basspro #Goodvibes #Boat #Christmas #parade."

Last month, Chris Janson kicked off the holiday season by performing his single “Good Vibes” at the 2019 Macy’s Day Parade.
