Watch: Child breaks into tears as Obama visits hospital as Santa
Obama also requested people to help out those having a tough time during holiday season.
Former US president Barrack Obama on Wednesday surprised children at a hospital with his visit to medical facility as Santa Claus.
" Yesterday, Santa Obama stopped by @ChildrensHealth to spread a little Christmas cheer and remind us what the holiday season is all about—giving back to the communities that we call home," said a tweet sent out by Obama Foundation.
"I am here at Children's National, a hospital in Washington DC. We are about to meet some incredible kids and spread a little holiday cheer," said Obama in a video before he enters a hospital ward and goes on to hug sick children and distributes gifts.
In the video, Obama requested people to help out those having a tough time during holiday season.
