It is three years since a terror attack killed 22 people at the pop star’s concert in the Manchester Arena, and the city has been close to her heart since.
The 27-year-old singer sent gifts and Amazon vouchers to patients at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary – where a number of the victims were treated.
Shortly after the attack, Grande visited young patients in the children’s hospital.
In a post on Facebook on Thursday, the hospital shared pictures of children holding their presents.
Others held up a note addressed to Grande thanking her for the “beautiful gifts” and wishing her “happy holidays”.
“We are extremely grateful to Ariana Grande for thinking of our young patients this Christmas,” the hospital said.
